Robot-assisted surgery is a multidisciplinary research field, which includes many subjects
(eg, medicine and surgery, engineering, mechanics, electronics, computer science, physics …

Despite the development of a large number of mobile manipulation robots, very few
platforms can demonstrate the required strength and mechanical sturdiness to …

Most current hip exoskeletons emphasize assistance for walking rather than stability. The
goal of this paper is to develop a novel, high-power, self-balancing, and passively and …

A major goal of humanoid robotics is to enable safe and reliable human-robot collaboration
in realworld scenarios. In this article, we present ARMAR-6, a new high-performance …

This paper introduces a computationally efficient control scheme for safe human–robot
interaction. The method relies on the Explicit Reference Governor (ERG) formalism to …

Solving mobile manipulation tasks in inaccessible and dangerous environments is an
important application of robots to support humans. Example domains are construction and …

The science and technology of wearable robots are steadily advancing, and the use of such
robots in our everyday life appears to be within reach. Nevertheless, widespread adoption of …

Transparency and guaranteed safety are important requirements in the design of wearable
exoskeleton actuators for individuals who have lower limb deficits but still maintain a certain …

Develo** a high physical performance robotic manipulation platform with considerable
power density, strength and resilience is not a trivial task and frequently leads to heavy and …
