In robotic teleoperation, it is crucial to be able to dynamically adjust interactions with the environment. Drawing inspiration from human behavior during interactions, Variable Impedance Control (VIC) has been widely adopted to enhance robotic flexibility and adaptability. However, maintaining the
In this work, we use recent developments in the field of adaptive robust Model Predictive Control (MPC) to build a controller for bilateral teleoperation systems. To guarantee robust constraint satisfaction, we incorporate polytopic tube controllers in the MPC design. In addition, we use online lear…
In this paper, a new methodology is developed for safely changing the interaction dynamics of a collaborative robot. A strategy based on electromyography is proposed to distinguish operator forces from those resulting from interactions with the environment. This allows to obtain information about th
Robots are more and more often designed in order to perform tasks in synergy with human operators. In this context, a current research focus for collaborative robotics lies in the design of high-performance control solutions, which ensure security in spite of unmodeled external forces. The present w…
While impedance control is one of the most commonly used strategies for robot interaction control, variable impedance control is a more recent preoccupation. If designing impedance control with varying parameters allows increasing the system flexibility and dexterity, it is still a challenging issue…
