...Paul Bosscher; Daniel Hedman Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm for performing collision avoidance with robotic manipulators. Design/methodology/approach The method does not require any a priori knowledge of the motion of other objects in its environment. Moreover...

...Takahiro Wada; Shoji Hiraoka; Shun'ichi Doi Purpose The purpose of this paper is to realize a smooth and secure brake assistance system to avoid rear‐end collision of automobiles. Design/methodology/approach It is important to judge necessity of deceleration assistance as early as possible...

... planning approach based on collision detection for a robot sharing the same workspace with humans. Using a base and wrist force/torque sensors, a model‐based method is investigated to estimate the collision force and collision position on the manipulator; then a weighted path planning approach is developed...
