Increasing the flexibility of robots needs systems more capable in perceiving and interacting
with the environment. A challenge is still to easy design the robotic system around the …

Robotic systems are increasingly used to work in dynamic and/or unstructured environments
and to operate with a high degree of safety and autonomy. Consequently, they are often …

Threaded fastening operations are widely used in assembly and are typically time-
consuming and costly. In low-volume, high-value manufacturing, fastening operations are …

A hybrid control scheme based on adaptive visual servoing and direct force control is
proposed for robot manipulators to perform interaction tasks on smooth surfaces. The …

This paper presents an interaction control strategy for industrial robot manipulators which
consists of the combination of a calibration-free, vision-based control method with an …

This paper presents the design of a stable non-linear control system for the remote visual
tracking of cellular robots. The robots are controlled through visual feedback based on the …

Addition of extra sensors, especially video cameras and force sensors, under control of
appropriate software makes robotic manipulators working in factories suitable for a range of …

This article presents a hybrid vision/force cascaded model predictive control method for
robotic manipulators utilized in automatic docking tasks. This control method consists of …

Human robot interaction (HRI) tasks requires robots to have safe sharing of work space and
to demonstrate adaptable compliant behavior enabling eminent collision safety as well as …

An approach for achieving reliable, built-in, high-accuracy force sensing for legged robots is
presented, based on direct exploitation of the properties of a robot's mechanical structure …
