The field of physical human-robot interaction has dramatically evolved in the last decades. As a result, the robotic system's requirements have become more challenging, including personalized behavior for different tasks and users. Various machine learning techniques have been proposed to give the r…
With an increasing use of robotic and bionic devices for the execution of everyday life, complex tasks, Electromyography (EMG) based interfaces are being explored as candidate technologies for facilitating an intuitive interaction with such devices. However, EMG-based interfaces typically require ap
Although the design of legged robots may be dependent on the application, all of them share the need to safely deal with physical interaction with the environment in every step they take. Impedance controllers have been applied with success to handle contact, and some authors applied the concept of…
Fasteners assembly automation in different industries require flexible systems capable of dealing with faulty situations. Fault detection and isolation (FDI) techniques are used to detect failure and deal with them, avoiding losses on parts, tools or robots. However, FDI usually deals with the fault…
Impedance control is commonly implemented for robotic contact applications. Its performance is a function of the dynamic coupling between the environment and the robot's impedance controller: inertia, stiffness and damping. An interaction task may be considered successfully accomplished when the ele…
