This paper presents a novel teleoperation interface that enables remote loco-manipulation control of a MObile Collaborative robotic Assistant (MOCA). MOCA is a new research platform developed at IIT, which is composed by a lightweight manipulator…
Musculoskeletal disorders, the single largest category of work-related injuries in many industrial countries, are associated with very high costs in terms of lost productivity. In high-volume production facilities, large parts of the workstation should ideally…
This paper presents a proof of concept for a synergistic framework for human-robot coexistance and collabora- tion (HRC2). By exploiting the loco-manipulation potential of our recently developed MObile Collaborative robotic Assistant (MOCA), we developed a…
Nowadays, robots are expected to enter in various application scenarios and interact with unknown and dynamically changing environments. This highlights the need for creating autonomous robot behaviours to explore such environments, identify their characteristics and…
