We present a comprehensive framework and test methodology for the evaluation of human-
machine interfaces (HMI) and human-robot interactions (HRI) in collaborative manufacturing …

A new methodology for describing the safety of human-robot collaborations is presented.
Taking a task-based perspective, a risk assessment of a collaborative robot system safety …

Collaborative robots (cobots) provide a wide range of opportunities to improve the
ergonomics and efficiency of manual work stations. ISO/TS 15066 defines power and force …

This paper deals mainly with the control of the complex and rhythmic behaviors of the
passive dynamic walk of the bipedal compass-type robot. The walking gait of such biped …

It is widely known that an appropriately built unpowered bipedal robot can walk down an
inclined surface with a passive steady gait. The features of such gait are determined by the …

The use of collaborative robots in the industrial domain has significantly grown in the last
years, allowing humans to operate in the same workspace occupied by robots without any …

Collaborative robots are one of the key drivers in Industry 4.0 and they have evolved
considerably since the last decades of the 20th century. With respect to the industrial robots …

Robotics is one of the major megatrends unfolding these days. Clearly, robots are capable
of doing much more outside the factories than ever imagined, and that has a great impact on …

Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand in den Jahren 2012 bis 2017. Ihr ging ein intensiver Diskurs
über Grenzwerte für sichere Mensch-Roboter-Interaktionen voraus. Er mündete in der …

The work focuses on the development of an adaptive technique for the physical interaction
handling between a human and a robot, as well as its experimental validation. The …
