Physical human-robot interaction

Abstract Human robot cooperation is now recognized as the next breakthrough in robotics and it is one of the pillars of the so called Industry4.0. The objective of this research is to develop and integrate the technologies and the control strategies that are necessary for implement a safe and efficient cooperation between [...]

Abstract In the industrial field a lot of tasks can be executed automatically by means of robotic manipulators, e.g. pick and place, welding, assembly or product inspection. For this reason the way the trajectory is “taught” to the robot becomes crucial. Teaching techniques involving manual guidance of the robot maximize the possibilities [...]
