Abstract: This paper presents a system integrating physical human-robot interaction in a dual-arm object manipulation task using multi-modal robot skin. The skin covers the end-effectors, enabling ...

While not 100% hands-free, it's miles ahead of where robot vacuums were only a few years ago.

The researchers behind the recent work, based in China, decided to implement something similar for an artificial skin that ...

Abstract: We propose a novel high-force/high-precision interaction control framework of a dual-arm robot system on a flexible base, with one arm holding, or making contact with, a supporting surface, ...
