Society is becoming more automated with robots beginning to perform most tasks in
factories and starting to help out in home and office environments. One of the most important …

Designing autonomous robotic systems able to manipulate deformable objects without
human intervention constitutes a challenging area of research. The complexity of …

AbstractIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the inter tester and intra
tester reliability of 5 static and 3 dynamic palpation tests, and three pain provocation tests …

This paper presents an approach for integrating vision, tactile and force sensors in a robotic
manipulation framework. Having an initial estimation of the object pose in the environment, a …

Sensors provide robotic systems with the information required to perceive the changes that
happen in unstructured environments and modify their actions accordingly. The robotic …

Whereas vision and force feedback—either at the wrist or at the joint level—for robotic
manipulation purposes has received considerable attention in the literature, the benefits that …

In this work, we present a humanoid robot able to perform compliant physical interaction
tasks with furniture commonly found in household environments. A general frame-work for …

AbstractIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the inter tester and intra
tester reliability of 5 static and 3 dynamic palpation tests, and three pain provocation tests …

Generally, stiffness and impedance control schemes require knowledge of the location of
any object with which a robot interacts within its workspace; therefore, the integration of a …

An adaptive sliding mode controller based on fuzzy logic is proposed to control a
manipulator robot over unknown surface trajectory using force-vision tracking, considering …
