Background
  • Focuses on the control of physical human-robot interaction and its applications in collaborative industrial manipulators, teleoperation, humanoid robots, and exoskeletons.
  • Aims to move robots out of highly controlled industrial settings into unstructured, unpredictable environments where they can safely and meaningfully collaborate with humans.
  • Envisions robots that can perform tasks collaboratively with humans, learn from them during interaction, and dynamically adapt to environmental changes.
  • Believes that in hazardous, hard, or mundane tasks, the strengths of robots (high speed, payload, precision) should be combined with human cognitive capabilities and adaptability.
  • Emphasizes the societal importance of keeping humans involved in work, viewing meaningful work as essential for individual purpose, value, and mental/physical well-being.
