Compliance actuation systems are efficient and safe, drawing attention to their development.
However, compliance has caused bandwidth loss, instability, and mechanical vibration in …

Compliance is increasingly being incorporated in the transmission of robotics actuation
systems to cope with unpredictable interactions, improve the robustness of the robot and in …

In this paper, we propose a control method, providing mobile robots with whole-body
compliance capabilities, in response to multicontact physical interactions with their …

In this paper, we address the issue of whole-body compliance with hierarchical force
propagation for omnidirectional mobile manipulators. Using the multimodal tactile feedback …

Robotic walkers are a promising techological direction to improve the mobility of older
adults. In this paper, we propose a guidance mechanism based on the differential actions of …

Most of the conventional approaches to mobile robot navigation avoid any kind of contact
with the environment or with humans. As nowadays distance sensors typically have a limited …

AZIMUT-3 is a nonholonomic omnidirectional platform design using sidewards off-centred
compliant wheels. This design makes it possible to experiment with the use of the chassis' …

This paper presents a nonlinear, universal, path-following controller for Wheeled Mobile
Robots (WMRs). This approach, unlike previous algorithms, solves the path-following …

To help ease the caregiving burden that comes with population aging, we proposed a
bistable control system for walking-assist robots in which the transition between two stable …

In this paper, we compare a touch-based human-to-robot command scheme with traditional
button commands in a series of human-robot collaborative assembly tasks. We find a …
