Collaborative robots, or cobots, are required to maintain compliant interaction while delivering rapid response performance when subjected to sudden ...

This research has broken through the limitations of traditional rehabilitation robot control methods, which often rely on fixed or variable impedance control with no consideration for the patient's ...

Variable admittance control (VAC) has emerged as a pivotal framework in realising safe, efficient, and responsive human–robot interaction (HRI). This dynamic control strategy adjusts the robot’s ...

This research from Keio University leverages Gaussian process regression, enabling robots to intuitively adjust grip based on object properties and stiffness.

Inexpensive robots of all forms are on the rise. Meka uses compliant actuators called series elastic actuators (SEAs) in nearly all joints of its robotic systems. A spring between motor and load ...

A new technological advancement gives robotic systems a natural sense of touch without extra skins or sensors. With advanced force sensing and deep learning, this robot can feel where you touch, ...
