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

This study provides a structured literature review of the recent COllaborative roBOT
(COBOT) applications in industrial and service contexts. Several papers and research …

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 …

In this survey, various concepts and methodologies developed over the past two decades for
varying and learning the impedance or admittance of robotic systems that physically interact …

Exoskeleton robots can assist humans to perform activities of daily living with little effort. In
this paper, a hierarchical control scheme is presented which enables an exoskeleton robot …

The dynamical movement primitives (DMPs) model is a useful tool for efficient robotic
learning manipulation skills from human demonstrations and then generalizing these skills …

Human-robot collaboration seeks to have humans and robots closely interacting in everyday
situations. For some tasks, physical contact between the user and the robot may occur …

In this paper, we address the problem of simultaneously achieving low trajectory tracking
errors and compliant control without using explicit mathematical models of task dynamics. To …

We propose an online iterative path optimisation method to enable a Baxter humanoid robot
to assist human users to dress. The robot searches for the optimal personalised dressing …

The uses of robots are changing from static environments in factories to encompass novel
concepts such as human–robot collaboration in unstructured settings. Preprogramming all …
