Researchers help humans and robots collaborate by enabling real-time interactions that modify a robot's path to its goal. The study will help robots make the transition from structured factory floors ...

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 ...

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 ...

Robust sensor: Francesca Iacopi and colleagues are developing a novel graphene-based biosensor to detect electrical signals from the brain. (Courtesy: University of Technology Sydney/Andy Roberts) ...
