Learning From Demonstration and Interactive Control of Variable-Impedance to Cut Soft Tissues

Aude Billard, Rui Wu

In this article, we propose an approach to extract variable-impedance during cutting tasks from human demonstrations, so as to ease soft-tissue cutting by robots. We model the dynamic adjustment of the human arm during interactions with the tissue and tran ...
