— It has been demonstrated in a number of robotic areas how the use of virtual fixtures improves task performance both in terms of execution time and overall precision, [1]. How...
— This paper presents an approach to implement virtual fixtures for surgical robot assistants. Our approach uses a weighted, multi-objective (both linear and nonlinear) constrai...
— In human-machine collaborative systems, robot joint compliance and human-input dynamics lead to involuntary tool motion into undesired regions. To correct this, a set of method...
