Abstract: As life expectancy increases, social and health assistance requires sustainable and affordable solutions possibly usable from one's own domestic environment. In this letter, we propose a ...

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss how a force-centric view of building robotic systems, in contrast to the currently dominant position-centric view, leads to robots that are faster, more reliable ...

Abstract: Contact force is a critical feedback mechanism for ensuring safe robot-environment interactions. Integrating dedicated force sensors into continuum robots (CRs) is difficult due to strict ...
