A dynamical system approach for detection and reaction to human guidance in physical human-robot interaction

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi

A seamless interaction requires two robotic behaviors: the leader role where the robot rejects the external perturbations and focuses on the autonomous execution of the task, and the follower role where the robot ignores the task and complies with human in ...

From Modular Origami Robots to Polygon-based Modular Systems: a New Paradigm in Reconfigurable Robotics

Christoph Heinrich Belke

A useful robot is one that fulfils its intended function. In a factory setting, where robots have been used successfully for decades, this function is often singular and clearly defined. Similarly, the surroundings of the robot are mostly known, sterile, a ...

Wearable Technologies for Embodied Human-Robot Interaction

Carine Rognon

Robotic teleoperation is fundamental to augment the resilience, precision, and force of robots with the cognition of the operator. However, current interfaces, such as joysticks and remote controllers, are often complicated to handle since they require cog ...

Structural Adaptation through Stiffness Tuning

Gennaro Senatore

Adaptive design strategies have been employed to improve structural performances in terms of load-bearing efficiency and energetic impact as well as to achieve multi-functionality. In this work, we investigate a passive adaptation strategy that employs var ...
