This paper proposes a control strategy for flexible link manipulators preserving high tracking accuracy in free motion, while ensuring smooth and safe behavior in scenarios involving physical interaction or large positional errors, based on the VB-PSMC. The scheme is extended to compensate for the m

Research on human-friendly robots focuses on safety through software and hardware. Hardware-based safety offers a significant advantage over software-based safety if an accurate hardware model is integrated into the solution. Design of elastic and off-joint actuation has established safety by hardwa
Redundant actuators enable to distribute power among two motors, which can be selected optimally in terms of efficiency. We propose a methodology that finds effective combinations of motors and gearboxes for a dynamic load, taking into account the constraints, inertia, and efficiency of each compone
Collaborative robots can help industry workers to improve their ergonomics. They can propose a safe and ergonomic posture to the workers to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Proposing an ergonomic stance needs postural evaluation and optimization. To optimize the workers' posture, we nee…
