Handshakes are common greetings, and humans therefore have strong priors of what a
handshake should feel like. This makes it challenging to create compelling and realistic …

Handshaking is a fundamental part of human physical interaction that is transversal to
various cultural backgrounds. It is also a very challenging task in the field of Physical Human …

This paper presents a novel robotic hand design that aims at producing a realistic human-
robot handshake. A standard characteristic model of the human-palm compliance is …

The handshake is the most acceptable gesture of greeting in many cultures throughout
many centuries. To date, robotic arms are not capable of fully replicating this typical human …

Handshakes are fundamental and common greeting and parting gestures among humans.
They are important in shaping first impressions as people tend to associate character traits …

In order to appear as natural as possible during social interaction, robots need either the
ability to express or to measure emotions. Touch can be a very powerful communication …

This article presents a system for soft human–robot handshaking, using a soft robot hand in
conjunction with a lightweight and impedance-controlled robot arm. Using this system, we …

Although research indicates that telepresence robots offer a more socially telepresent
alternative to conventional forms of remote communication, the lack of touch-based …

This paper deals with the problem of using the tactile feedback generated by a robotic skin
for discriminating a human hand touch from a generic contact. Humans understand …

Handshaking is an important component of social interaction between people in many
cultures. Thus, for further applications in human/humanoid-robot interaction it is important to …
