Recent advances in control and planning allow for seamless physical human–robot
interaction (pHRI). At the same time, novel challenges appear in orchestrating intelligent …

Tactile robots shall be deployed for dynamic task execution in production lines with small
batch sizes. Therefore, these robots should have the ability to respond to changing …

In this paper, we propose a motion, stiffness, and force learning framework based on an
extended dynamic movement primitive (DMP) and quadratic programming (QP) …

Human-robot collaborations are among the most promising but challenging applications for
human-centered production, as both agents involved share a mutual workspace without …

In this paper, we introduce a tele-robotic station called “PARTI” that leverages state-of-the-art
robotics and virtual reality technology to enable immersive haptic interaction with simulated …

Tactile robots can perform complex interaction skills, eg, polishing. Such robots should
therefore be designed to be adaptive to environmental uncertainties such as changing …

Evaluating robot performance through health data is important for industrial robots in
production. In this article, a closed-loop evaluation method based on low-cost health data is …

Compliance with global guidelines for sustainable and responsible production in modern
industry requires a comparative analysis of consumer devices' energy consumption (EC) …

Different robotic manipulation tasks require different execution and planning strategies.
Nevertheless, the versatility of tasks in assembly and disassembly demands flexible control …

Robotics aims to develop manipulation skills approaching human performance. However,
skill complexity is often over-or underestimated based on individual experience, and the real …
