As robots increasingly collaborate with humans, natural language provides an intuitive interface for communication about physical actions. However, bridging the gap between linguistic descriptions and physical forces remains challenging for enabling robots to interpret movement instructions and comm…
Recent advancements have enabled human-robot collaboration through physical assistance and verbal guidance. However, limitations persist in coordinating robots' physical motions and speech in response to real-time changes in human behavior during collaborative contact tasks. We first derive principl…
Age-related loss of mobility and an increased risk of falling remain major obstacles for older adults to live independently. Many elderly people lack the coordination and strength necessary to perform activities of daily living, such as getting out of bed or stepping into a bathtub. A traditional so…
Although telepresence assistive robots have made significant progress, they still lack the sense of realism and physical presence of the remote operator. This results in a lack of trust and adoption of such robots. In this paper, we introduce an Avatar Robot System which is a mixed real/virtual robo…
Robot-assisted rehabilitation is expected to reduce locomotor limitations of children and young adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP). However, to achieve this result, it is essential that the robot is transparent, allowing the user to move freely, and generate joint torques only when the exoskeleton join…
