Preventing cross-infection is crucial for robots designed to assist medical staff in isolation wards during outbreaks of infectious diseases like COVID-19. This paper proposes a modular robotic system with a working platform and a mobile base to prevent cross-infection during item delivery and waste
In recent years, inflatable actuators have been widely used in wearable suits to assist humans who need help in moving their joints. Despite their lightweight and simple structure, they have long inflation and deflation times, which make their quick use difficult. To resolve this issue, we propose a
Verbal interaction between a human and a robot may play a key role in conveying suitable directions for a robot to achieve the goal of a user's request. However, a robot may need to correct task plans or make new decisions with human help, which would make the interaction inconvenient and also incre…
This paper aims to develop a controller for a robot manipulator equipped with series elastic actuators (SEAs) to precisely track the desired link position coping with deflections from the intrinsic compliance. The well-known time-delay estimation (TDE) technique is modified for devising the new cont…
