This research addresses the challenge of large/complex deformation in the shape control
tasks of Deformable Linear Objects (DLO). We propose a collaborative approach using two …

Abstract Industry 4.0 (I4. 0) has been characterized by the increasing use of automation,
artificial intelligence, and big data in manufacturing. It has brought different machines, tools …

This paper explores the issue of protective film removal in the hand layup process for
composite parts production. The hand layup process, involving the assembly of prepreg …

Background: The manipulation of compliant objects by robotic systems remains a
challenging task, largely due to their variable shapes and the complex, high-dimensional …

This article aims to design an assistive controller for physical Human-Robot Interaction
(pHRI) based on Dynamic Cooperative Game Theory (DCGT). In particular, a distributed …

Enabling robots to work safely close to humans requires both adherence to safety standards
and the development of appropriate strategies to plan and control robot movements in …

Manipulating deformable objects in robotic cells is often costly and not widely accessible.
However, the use of localized pneumatic gripping systems can enhance accessibility …

Robotic manipulation relies on analytical or learned models to simulate the system
dynamics. These models are often inaccurate and based on offline information, so that the …

Despite the importance of human-robot collaborative transportation of flexible material in
many industrial scenarios, many works in the literature assume a passive role for the robot …

Human-Robot collaborative transportation is a promising technology that combines the
strength of humans and robots. The most common approaches rely on methodologies that …
