With the increasing deployment of robots in dynamic and unpredictable scenarios, it becomes necessary for robots to acquire not only contact-based but also non-contact tactile signals to enhance environmental understanding. However, current non-contact tactile sensors are largely limited to detectin…
Tele-homecare has become a promising approach to meet the growing demand for elderly and disability care. In such a context, ensuring human-robot interaction safety during teleoperation poses a critical challenge. Existing teleoperation control approaches focus solely on the robot’s end-effector tra
This study presents a safety-aware shared control strategy that combines proximity sensing and force guidance to achieve precise and stable teleoperation under dynamic interference. Based on the sensing information of the proximity sensor, a safety-aware controller is designed to enable the manipula
With the rapid technology development pushing the introduction of the fifth industrial revolution, Industry 5.0, robots are getting rid of fences and sharing the workspace with humans. In such a context, ensuring the safety of humans and robots is a critical demand. One of the effective methods for
Robot skin, as the physical interface between collaborative robots (cobots) and the external environments, could mediate on-body tactile signals for cobots to respond timely once a collision occurs during tasks and thus avoid damages to both cobots and surroundings. To achieve effective on-body tact
