Model-based control improves robot performance provided that the dynamics parameters are estimated accurately. However, some of the model parameters change with time, e.g. friction parameters and unknown payload. Particularly, ...
[EN] Rehabilitation is a hazardous task for a mechanical system, since the device has to interact with the human extremities without the hands-on experience the physiotherapist acquires over time. A gap needs to be filled ...
[EN] A robot interacting with the environment requires that the end effector \hboxposition is tracked and that the forces of contact are kept below certain reference values. For instance, in a rehabilitation session using ...
