Standard industrial robotic manipulators use well-established high performing technologies.
However, such manipulators do not guarantee a safe Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) …

A recent trend in industrial robotics is to have robotic manipulators working side-by-side with
human operators. A challenging aspect of this coexistence is that the robot is required to …

Robotic devices can be leveraged to raise the abilities of humans to perform demanding and
complex tasks with less effort. Although the first priority of such human-robot interaction …

This paper presents a novel collision avoidance algorithm for collaborative robotics that can
influence the collision-free trajectory of the robot according to preferred directions with …

In this work, we describe a ROS-based method for whole-body control (WBC) of mobile
manipulators in the context of safe human-robot interaction. Our method is based on cyclic …

Spherical parallel manipulators can be effectively used for the execution of pointing tasks
provided that their functional redundancy is well exploited. The present letter shows how the …

For many years, separated autonomous robotic systems have been an essential component
in industrial manufacturing. In particular, these heavy-payload robots perform a wide range …

In an increasing demand for human-robot collaboration systems, the need for safe robots is
crucial. This paper presents a proactive strategy to enable an awareness of the current risk …

Most of the current commercial collaborative robots present a non-spherical wrist, so they
cannot utilize singularity handling techniques efficiently to avoid excessive safety stops …

In this paper, an efficient and probabilistic complete planning algorithm called Composite-
space RRT is presented to address motion planning with soft constraints for spherical wrist …
