Recent technological advances in hardware design of the robotic platforms enabled the
implementation of various control modalities for improved interactions with humans and …

Dexterous manipulation of the robot is an important part of realizing intelligence, but
manipulators can only perform simple tasks such as sorting and packing in a structured …

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

In this paper, we propose a novel method for human–robot collaboration, where the robot
physical behaviour is adapted online to the human motor fatigue. The robot starts as a …

This chapter surveys the main approaches developed to date to endow robots with the
ability to learn from human guidance. The field is best known as robot programming by …

In this work, we present a novel control approach to human-robot collaboration that takes
into account ergonomic aspects of the human co-worker during power tool operations. The …

Designing a robot system with reasoning and learning ability has gradually become a
research focus in robotics research field. Recently, Skill Transfer Learning (STL), ie, the …

This paper aims to improve the interaction and coordination between the human and the
robot in cooperative execution of complex, powerful, and dynamic tasks. We propose a …

In this paper, we propose a method for selective monitoring and management of human
muscle fatigue in human-robot co-manipulation scenarios. The proposed approach uses a …

Robot Learning from Demonstration (RLfD) has been identified as a key element for making
robots useful in daily lives. A wide range of techniques has been proposed for deriving a …
