Robot learning human stiffness regulation for hybrid manufacture
TL;DR: In this article, an extended dynamical motor primitives (DMP) framework is proposed to enable learning stiffness regulation strategies from human demonstrations, which can enable robots to simultaneously learn stiffness and the movement from human demonstration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Collision Avoidance Interaction Between Human and a Hidden Robot Based on Kinect and Robot Data Fusion
TL;DR: This work developed and applied an original new approach that combines data of one 3D depth sensor (Kinect) and proprioceptive robot sensors, and uses the principle of limited safety contour around the obstacle to dynamically estimate the robot-obstacle distance, and then generate the repulsive force that controls the robot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing collaborative human–robot assembly lines to optimise cycle time and ergonomic risk
TL;DR: Human-robot collaboration can enhance productivity of production lines and reduce human ergonomic risk as mentioned in this paper, but the number and types of robots and stations in which robots are allocated need to be deterministic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inverse Optimal Control for Identification in Non-Cooperative Differential Games
TL;DR: An inverse optimization framework for the identification of an unknown objective function of a game’s participant is introduced and the identified objective function yields the same trajectories as the ground truth objective function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive Automation Assembly Systems in the Industry 4.0 Era: A Reference Framework and Full–Scale Prototype
TL;DR: In this paper, a general framework for adaptive automation assembly systems (A3Ss) is proposed and applied to a full-scale prototype, highlighting its features together with the technical and human-oriented improvements arising from its adoption.

Robot Vision
TL;DR: Robot Vision as discussed by the authors is a broad overview of the field of computer vision, using a consistent notation based on a detailed understanding of the image formation process, which can provide a useful and current reference for professionals working in the fields of machine vision, image processing, and pattern recognition.

Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments
Richard Adams,Blake Hannaford +1 more
TL;DR: By decoupling the haptic display control problem from the design of virtual environments, the use of a virtual coupling network frees the developer of haptic-enabled virtual reality models from issues of mechanical stability.

Towards a 3g crawling robot through the integration of microrobot technologies
TL;DR: This paper discusses the biomimetic design and assembly of a 3g self-contained crawling robot fabricated through the integrated use of various microrobot technologies and presents results of both the kinematic and static analyses of the driving mechanism that essentially consists of three slider cranks in series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast and "soft-arm" tactics [robot arm design]
Antonio Bicchi,G. Tonietti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of designing joint-actuation mechanisms that can allow fast and accurate operation of a robot arm, while guaranteeing a suitably limited level of injury risk.

Robust control of dynamically interacting systems
J.E. Colgate,Neville Hogan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes an approach to the design of ‘interaction controllers’ and contrasts this with an Approach to the Design of Approaches toDynamic interaction with the environment is fundamental to the process of manipulation.
