Haptics based collaborative steering control in automated driving environments

A vehicle's steering is a particular system in that it is exposed to individual subjective reviews based on criteria that are hard to assess quantitatively. Haptic design of such systems is a prime concern that has been at the center of industrial developm ...

Motion Learning and Adaptive Impedance for Robot Control during Physical Interaction with Humans

Aude Billard, Elena Gribovskaya

One of the hallmarks of physical interaction between humans is haptic communication, i.e. an informa- tion exchange through force signals. Humans excel in tasks that require such interaction by adapting impedance and anticipating the partner’s intentions. ...
