Multisensor data fusion is the process of combining observations from a number of different
sensors to provide a robust and complete description of an environment or process of …

In human-robot collaborative assembly, robots are often required to dynamically change
their pre-planned tasks to collaborate with human operators in a shared workspace …

Grinding marks and traces, as well as the over-and under-cutting phenomenon are the
severe challenges in robotic abrasive belt grinding of turbine blades and it greatly limits the …

As haptic technology has advanced in the past decade, many sensor devices have been
built and commercialized for providing the sense of action/reaction forces or moment …

Due to the recent trend of the application of robots and other mechatronic devices to human
life support, the force control draws more attention than ever. However, to use force sensors …

Sensors provide robotic systems with the information required to perceive the changes that
happen in unstructured environments and modify their actions accordingly. The robotic …

In the control of industrial robots, both safety and reference tracking performance are
required. For safe human-robot interaction, robots should exhibit low mechanical (or …

This paper discusses a new control approach for robotic-assisted tele-echography. The
control architecture follows a hierarchical approach, where explicit Cartesian force control …

This paper presents a novel robust generalised impedance control methodology for piezo-
actuated flexure-based four-bar micro/nano manipulation mechanisms. This control …

Constant force control and smooth trajectory planning are regarded as key strategies to
improve the surface quality of blades in robotic abrasive belt grinding. However, some …
