Haptic devices are widely used as control interfaces for robotic teleoperation, offering intuitive rendering of interactions between remote robot and environment. In particular, cutaneous feedback devices provide intrinsic stability and reduced form factor compared to kinesthetic feedback interfaces
Steel mill is one of the most extreme and hazardous working environments due to molten iron erupted from blast furnace. Current manual labor to remove lump iron near the outlet, which is essential to prevent lump iron from scattering or blocking of molten iron, is performed by equipped human workers…
This paper proposes a passivity-based nonlinear disturbance observer (DOB) design for a powered upper-limb robot control. The proposed DOB allows for the nonlinearities of the robot dynamics, whereas the typical DOB designs cannot. Moreover, by virtue of the passivity property, human operator and en
