چکیده
To open up a highly expanded functionality in direct cooperation with humans regarding mobile service and assistance robotics applications, as well as new applications in the field of automation in industries, the new biologically inspired, lightweight and elastic robot arm “BioRob” offers a new kind of human machine interaction. The functional principle of the robot arm permits the system to apply forces, to estimate the weight of payload and to detect collision and touch in a similar way as the human arm. Further this technology allows for a direct teach-in or a hand guided robot movement. In this paper, strategies for this novel, more flexible, easily reconfigurable and highly safe human robot interface are shown and discussed.
