A new vision in human–robot collaboration has allowed to place robots nearby human
operators, working close to each other in industrial environments. As a consequence …

This paper proposes a novel approach based on affective robotics that can be applied to
industrial applications. Considering a human-robot interaction task, we propose to analyze …

During robot-aided surgical interventions, the surgeon can be benefitted from the application
of virtual fixtures (VFs). Though very effective, this technique is very often not practicable in …

Existing dual-arm teleoperation systems function on one-to-one coupling of the human and
robotic arms to fully exploit the user's dexterity during bimanual tele-manipulation. While the …

The new paradigm of human-robot collaboration has led to the creation of shared work
environments in which humans and robots work in close contact with each other …

A change in the paradigm of Human-Robot Interaction has allowed to place robots nearby
human operators, creating shared working environments. Industrial manipulators are …

In industrial or surgical settings, to achieve many tasks successfully, at least two people are
needed. To this end, robotic assistance could be used to enable a single person to perform …

In this paper, a two-layer architecture for the bilateral teleoperation of multi-arms systems
with communication delay is presented. We extend the single-master-single-slave two layer …

This study aims to propose an adaptive state-dependent gain finite-time convergent
controller (using the fundamentals of the sliding mode theory) that solves the trajectory …

In this paper we present an interactive system to enhance bilateral teleoperation through
online virtual fixtures generation and task switching. This is achieved using a stereo camera …
