... couples joint stiffness adjustment with motion control. Design/methodology/approach A dual-mode control strategy is designed: a torque-priority active assistive control mode for rehabilitation, combining enhanced PID trajectory tracking with human–robot interaction ( HRI ) force compensation...

...Jingwei Liu; Yufan Zhang; Bidan Li; Guanglong Du; Xiaojun Zhu; Quanlong Guan Purpose Haptic enables humans to experience the scenes of touch, which is important for human–robot interaction ( HRI ). However, most existing haptic devices implement such scenes of touch in a direct contact manner...

... applicable to human–robot interaction scenarios. When robots execute motion trajectories that appear unnatural or abrupt, this can interfere with human action prediction, potentially resulting in psychological discomfort or even evoking fear responses. Accordingly, the execution of anthropomorphic motion...

...Ahmed Eslam Salman; Magdy Raouf Roman Purpose The study proposed a human–robot interaction (HRI) framework to enable operators to communicate remotely with robots in a simple and intuitive way. The study focused on the situation when operators with no programming skills have to accomplish...

..., the purpose of this study was to develop a safe human-robot interaction software based on vision and touch. Design/methodology/approach The software consists of three modules. Firstly, the vision module has two tasks: to determine whether there is a human presence and to measure the distance between...

...Muhammet Fatih Aslan; Akif Durdu; Kadir Sabancı; Kemal Erdogan Purpose In this study, human activity with finite and specific ranking is modeled with finite state machine, and an application for human–robot interaction was realized. A robot arm was designed that makes specific movements...
