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 …

As robotic devices are applied to problems beyond traditional manufacturing and industrial
settings, we find that interaction between robots and humans, especially physical interaction …

ABSTRACT A decade ago, a group of researchers from academia and industry identified a
dichotomy between the industrial and academic state-of-the-art in upper-limb prosthesis …

Any implant or prosthesis replacing a function or functions of an organ or group of organs
should be biologically and sensorily integrated with the human body in order to increase …

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 …

The term 'synergy'–from the Greek synergia–means 'working together'. The concept of
multiple elements working together towards a common goal has been extensively used in …

One of the hottest topics in rehabilitation robotics is that of proper control of prosthetic
devices. Despite decades of research, the state of the art is dramatically behind 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 …

This letter proposes a novel human–robot collaboration (HRC) control approach to alert and
reduce the static joint torque overloading of a human partner while executing shared tasks …
