Most collaborative robots use high-power motors for a good weight-to-payload ratio, thus leading to not only an increase in manufacturing cost but also possibility of injury at a collision between a human and a robot. To maintain high-performance with low-power driving units, a spring-based counterb…
In recent years, much research has been done to develop various direct teaching schemes, in which an operator directly teaches a robot by hand guiding instead of using a teach pendant. However, conventional direct teaching methods are usually sensor based, thus leading to an expensive solution. To d…
As there have been many attempts for human-robot collaborations, various solutions to collision detection have been proposed in order to deal with safety issues. However, existing methods for collision detection include the usage of skin sensors or joint torque sensors, and cannot be applied to robo…
