The demand for collaborative robots is growing in industrial environments due to their
versatility and low prices. Thus, more collaborative solutions are emerging for industrial …

This letter addresses the problem of distinguishing unexpected collisions from voluntary
contacts during human-robot collaboration. The objective of this letter is to improve the …

State-of-the-art robotic manipulators come with functions that detect unforeseen contact
situations with the environment. However, for collaborative manipulators that are specifically …

Purpose This paper aims to propose a forcefree control algorithm that is based on a dynamic
model with full torque compensation is proposed to improve the compliance and flexibility of …

Human-robot collaboration is a key aspect in the development of smart factories in the
context of Industry 4.0. Contrary to traditional industrial manipulators operating in structured …

In modern highly dynamic robot manipulation, collisions between a robot and objects may
be intentionally executed to improve performance. To distinguish between these deliberate …

The performance of human–robot interaction can be enhanced by imposing force
constraints through virtual fixture (VF) algorithms. In this article, an adaptive impedance …

Background Traditional craniotomy relies on the surgeon's experience and can be
complicated owing to excessive skull bone removal, undesirable brain tissue penetration, or …

In this paper, we present a novel method to support physical human-robot interaction during
the execution of collaborative manipulation tasks. In the proposed approach, the robot is …

With the increasing application of collaborative robots, it is essential to ensure staff safety
during human-machine collaboration, so the robot collision detection problem must be …
