Human-robot collaborative disassembly is an emerging trend in the sustainable recycling
process of electronic and mechanical products. It requires the use of advanced technologies …

Motor primitives are fundamental building blocks of a controller which enable dynamic robot
behavior with minimal high-level intervention. By treating motor primitives as basic …

Redundant manipulators are widely used in fields such as human-robot collaboration due to
their good flexibility. To ensure efficiency and safety, the manipulator is required to avoid …

In this paper, a kinematically modular approach to robot control is presented. The method
involves structures called Elementary Dynamic Actions and a network model combining …

Safety for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is a major concern for all application
domains. While current standardization for industrial robot applications provide safety …

Robotic handovers of objects to humans require selecting appropriate grasp poses and
orientations to enable efficient subsequent use. We present two methods to compute …
