Insertion tasks are commonly encountered in robot assembly automation. However,
traditional vision positioning methods are difficult to identify the target positions exactly due …

Collaborative robots are increasingly used in different fields of application to physically
interact with the human (eg, manufacturing, rehabilitation, etc.) In order to improve the …

Industrial robots are increasingly used to perform tasks that require an interaction with the
surrounding environment (eg, assembly tasks). Such environments are usually (partially) …

Production plants are being re-designed to implement human-centered solutions. Especially
considering high added-value operations, robots are required to optimize their behavior to …

Compliant interaction control is a key technology for robots performing contact-rich
manipulation tasks. The design of the compliant controller needs to consider the robot …

Aiming at the compliant control problem of a free-flying flexible-joint space robot (FFSR)
when it comes in contact with targets or obstacles, a nonsingular composite impedance …

Robots equipped with the vision systems at the end-effector provide a powerful combination
in industrial contexts, allowing to execute a wide range of manufacturing tasks, such as …

This paper proposes a robust hybrid position/force control (HPFC) system for multi-degree of
freedom manipulators (MDoFMs) with torque constraints on each joint. General HPFC …

This paper proposes RUR53: an Unmanned Ground Vehicle able to navigate through,
identify, and reach areas of interest. There, it can recognize, localize, and manipulate work …

In recent years, accelerative aging society is meeting the short supply of young and middle‐
aged labor. Particularly, most young people are reluctant to work in the construction industry …
