This video presents a unified hybrid force-impedance framework for highly dynamic end-effector motions. The unified framework features compliant behavior in the free (motion) task directions and ...

Nabot Nanjing Technology Co., Ltd. recently announced that its patent titled "Adaptive Impedance Control Method for Robots Tracking Unknown Surfaces" has been authorized by the National Intellectual ...

Our light-weight robots are controlled by a cascaded structure of current, joint and Cartesian level controllers. The modular joints are equipped with motor-side position sensors (based on ...

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 ...

A smoother experience for robotic prosthetic leg users is the aim of a University of Michigan project that has received renewed support from the National Institutes of Health. The R01 grant of $3 ...
