This paper presents a robust and reliable humanrobot collaboration framework for bimanual manipulation. We propose an optimal motion adaptation method to retarget arbitrary human commands to feasible robot pose references while maintaining payload stability. The framework comprises three modules: (1) Task-Space Sequential Equilibrium and Inverse Kinematics Optimization for … [Read more...] about Collaborative Bimanual Manipulation Using Optimal Motion Adaptation and Interaction Control: Retargeting Human Commands to Feasible Robot Control References

Safe and Effective Collaboration With a High-Payload Robot: A Framework Integrating Novel Hardware and Software Modules
Human–robot collaboration has demonstrated its potential to increase efficiency and productivity in industry. However, inherently safe collaborative robots offer limited payloads and are unsuitable for many heavy lifting and manipulation tasks that would benefit from collaboration. The use of high-payload robots in physical human–robot interaction poses significant safety and … [Read more...] about Safe and Effective Collaboration With a High-Payload Robot: A Framework Integrating Novel Hardware and Software Modules
Opinion– Opportunities and Challenges to Integrate Artificial Intelligence Into Manufacturing Systems: Thoughts From a Panel Discussion
Rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to significantly increase productivity, quality, and profitability in future manufacturing systems. (Caveat: The panel did not attempt to disentangle artificial intelligence from machine learning and used the two terms loosely interchangeably during the discussion.) Traditional mass production will give way to … [Read more...] about Opinion– Opportunities and Challenges to Integrate Artificial Intelligence Into Manufacturing Systems: Thoughts From a Panel Discussion
