In this research, it is shown that robot joint torques can be used to recognize contact force transients induced during robotic manipulation, thus detecting when a task is completed. The approach does not assume any external sensor, which is a benefit compared to the state of the art. The joint torq…
Programming robots for tasks involving force interaction is difficult, since both the knowledge of the task and the dynamics of the robots are necessary. An immersive haptic interface for task demonstration is proposed, where the operator can sense and act through the robot. This is achieved by coup…
The concept of dynamical movement primitives (DMPs) has become popular for modeling of motion, commonly applied to robots. This paper presents a framework that allows a robot operator to adjust DMPs in an intuitive way. Given a generated trajectory with a faulty last part, the operator can use lead-…
We provide a framework for 6 DOF pose estimation in seam-tracking applications using particle filtering. The particle filter algorithm developed incorporates measurements from both a 2 DOF laser seam tracker and the robot forward kinematics under an assumed external force. Special attention is paid…
