To improve the safety and effectiveness of human-robot collaboration (HRC), the robot must
plan a safe trajectory before the human movement is finished. Therefore, it is necessary to …

Minimising the energy consumption associated with periodic motion is a priority common to
a wide range of technologies and organisms. These include many forms of biological and …

Human-robot interaction benefits greatly from multimodal sensor inputs as they enable
increased robustness and generalization accuracy. Despite this observation, few HRI …

Performing a number of motion patterns–referred to as skills–(eg, wave, spiral, sweeping
motions) during teleoperation is an integral part of many industrial processes such as …

The human gait can be described as the synergistic activity of all individual components of
the sensory–motor system. The central nervous system (CNS) develops synergies to …

Structural resonance involves the absorption of inertial loads by a tuned structural elasticity:
a process playing a key role in a wide range of biological and technological systems …

Many tasks performed by two humans require mutual interaction between arms such as
handing-over tools and objects. In order for a robotic arm to interact with a human in the …

We propose in this paper Periodic Interaction Primitives-a probabilistic framework that can
be used to learn compact models of periodic behavior. Our approach extends existing …

Many tasks performed by two humans require mutual interaction between arms such as
handing-over tools and objects. In order for a robotic arm to interact with a human in the …

Robots are expected to possess similar capabilities that humans exhibit during close
proximity dyadic interaction. Humans can easily adapt to each other in a multitude of …
