A research team has announced a breakthrough in impedance control for collaborative robots (cobots), tackling a persistent ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

(Nanowerk News) The larger an industrial machine, the more difficult it is to troubleshoot malfunctions by detecting unwanted oil pressure deviations or even line leaks from the outside. It often ...
