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

The objective of this paper is to present a systematic review of existing sensor-based control
methodologies for applications that involve direct interaction between humans and robots, in …

Human–robot co-transportation allows for a human and a robot to perform an object
transportation task cooperatively on a shared environment. This range of applications raises …

Ensuring human safety is one of the most important considerations within the field of human-
robot interaction (HRI). This does not simply involve preventing collisions between humans …

Although the concept of industrial cobots dates back to 1999, most present day hybrid
human–machine assembly systems are merely weight compensators. Here, we present …

In this article, we propose a hybrid framework using visual and force sensing for human-
robot co-carrying tasks. Visual sensing is utilized to obtain human motion and an observer is …

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

Gras** and assembly are essential tasks in high-precision robotic manipulation for
industrial manufacturing as well as for home service applications. Many efforts have been …

In this paper, adaptive impedance control is proposed for a robot collaborating with a human
partner, in the presence of unknown motion intention of the human partner and unknown …

An intelligent human-robot interaction (HRI) system with adjustable robot behavior is
presented. The proposed HRI system assists the human operator to perform a given task …
