Nowadays, humans are allowed to work side-by-side with a robot team, which consists of dual robots in most cases. To ensure human safety, the motion of each robot should be reactive to and compliant with humans via human-in-the-loop control. Furthermore, when the robots conduct a cooperative task, t
Close human-robot interaction enables the combination of complementary abilities of humans and robots, thereby promoting efficient manufacturing. Human safety is an important aspect of human-robot interaction. To this end, the robot executes an evasive motion for collision avoidance when the human a
Safety and efficiency are two important aspects of human-robot collaboration (HRC). Most existing control methods for HRC consider either contactless HRC or physical HRC, hindering more efficient HRC. The proposed control framework enables dual-mode HRC, filling the gap between contactless and physi
