Abstract: Industrial robotics demands significant energy to operate, making energy-reduction methodologies increasingly important. Strategies for planning minimum-energy trajectories typically involve solving nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs), which rarely cope with real-time (RT) requirements. In this article, we propose a paradigm for generating near … [Read more...] about Real-Time Generation of Near Minimum-Energy Trajectories via Constraint-Informed Residual Learning: A Paradigm for Learning From Optimal Solutions

Large-Language-Model-Aided Assistive Robot for Single-Operator Bimanual Teleoperation: Introduction and Validation of a Flexible Assistance System
Abstract: Bimanual teleoperation tasks are highly demanding for human operators, requiring the simultaneous control of two robotic arms while managing complex coordination and cognitive load. Current approaches to this challenge often rely on rigid control schemes or task-specific automations that do not adapt well to dynamic environments or varied operator needs. This … [Read more...] about Large-Language-Model-Aided Assistive Robot for Single-Operator Bimanual Teleoperation: Introduction and Validation of a Flexible Assistance System
