In the last decade, the objectives outlined by the needs of personal robotics have led to the
rise of new biologically-inspired techniques for arm motion planning. This paper presents a …

Within the last decade, the application of “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning” has
become popular across multiple disciplines, especially in information systems. The two …

The NASA/DARPA Robonaut system is evolving from a purely teleoperator controlled
anthropomorphic robot towards a humanoid system with multiple control pathways …

In this paper, a collision detection and identification method of a manipulator, using base
and wrist force/torque sensors, is presented. An impact model is used to simulate the …

This paper presents a planning procedure that allows an anthropomorphic dual-arm robotic
system to perform a manipulation task in a natural human-like way by using demonstrated …

Action prediction and fluidity are key elements of human–robot teamwork. If a robot's actions
are hard to understand, it can impede fluid human–robot interaction. Our goal is to improve …

By 'model'we mean a mathematical description of a world aspect. With the proliferation of
computers a variety of modeling paradigms emerged under computational intelligence and …

Human-object interaction is of great relevance for robots to operate in human environments.
However, state-of-the-art robotic hands are far from replicating humans skills. It is, therefore …

In the last decade we have witnessed a rapid growth of Humanoid Robotics, which has
already constituted an autonomous research field. Humanoid robots (or simply humanoids) …

The intention of this paper is to contribute towards a unified understanding of the basic
notions and terms in the domain of humanoid robotics, having in mind that the same notions …
