Abstract Human–Robot Collaboration (HRC) has a pivotal role in smart manufacturing for
strict requirements of human-centricity, sustainability, and resilience. However, existing HRC …

Robots that physically interact with their surroundings, in order to accomplish some tasks or
assist humans in their activities, require to exploit contact forces in a safe and proficient …

This paper presents an experimental study on human-robot comanipulation in the presence
of kinematic redundancy. The objective of the work is to enhance the performance during …

Robots are becoming safe and smart enough to work alongside people not only on
manufacturing production lines, but also in spaces such as houses, museums, or hospitals …

Over the last two decades, the foundations for physical human–robot interaction (pHRI) have
evolved from successful developments in mechatronics, control, and planning, leading …

Since the strict separation of working spaces of humans and robots has experienced a
softening due to recent robotics research achievements, close interaction of humans and …

There have been significant interests and efforts in the field of impedance control on robotic
manipulation over last decades. Impedance control aims to achieve the desired mechanical …

An intelligent human-robot interaction (HRI) system with adjustable robot behavior is
presented. The proposed HRI system assists the human operator to perform a given task …

Robots are currently used in some applications to enhance human performance and it is
expected that human/robot interactions will become more frequent in the future. In order to …

This paper presents human-robot cooperation with adaptive behavior of the robot, which
helps the human operator to perform the cooperative task and optimizes its performance. A …
