Motion Learning and Adaptive Impedance for Robot Control during Physical Interaction with Humans

Aude Billard, Elena Gribovskaya

One of the hallmarks of physical interaction between humans is haptic communication, i.e. an informa- tion exchange through force signals. Humans excel in tasks that require such interaction by adapting impedance and anticipating the partner’s intentions. ...
