HuBotVerse: Toward Internet of Human and Intelligent Robotic Things With a Digital Twin-Based Mixed Reality Framework

by

Although the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) has enhanced the productivity of robotic systems in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT), it does not inherently support seamless human-robot collaboration. This paper presents HuBotVerse, a unified framework designed to foster the evolution of the Internet of Human and Intelligent Robotic Things (IoHIRT). HuBotVerse is … [Read more...] about HuBotVerse: Toward Internet of Human and Intelligent Robotic Things With a Digital Twin-Based Mixed Reality Framework

Safe and Effective Collaboration With a High-Payload Robot: A Framework Integrating Novel Hardware and Software Modules

by

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
