Abstract: Improper controller parameter settings in physical human–robot interaction (pHRI) can lead to instability, compromising both safety and system performance. This study investigates the relationship between cognitive and ...

Abstract: In many system-engineering problems, such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, and cooperative task performance, it is critical to allocate limited resources within a restricted area optimally. Static coverage problem ...

Abstract: Variable stiffness endofarm actuators can add dynamic manipulation capabilities to stiff manipulators and simultaneously enhance safety. The presence of an elastic element in these actuators can be used for absorbing impact ...

Abstract: Efficient human–robot collaboration during physical interaction requires estimating the human state for optimal role allocation and load sharing. Machine learning (ML) methods are gaining popularity for estimating the ...
