With the rise of Industry 4.0 technological trends, there is a growing tendency in manufacturing automation towards collaborative robots. Human-robot collaboration (HRC) motivated by combination complementary human and robot skills intelligence, which can increase productivity, flexibility adaptability. However, it still challenging to achieve safe efficient human-robot systems due dynamics pre...

In this paper, an adaptive control method for hybrid position/force control of robot manipulators, based on neuro-fuzzy modelling, is presented. Also, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy compensator compensates the friction force between the endeffector and the surface of the object. Due to the adaptive neuro-fuzzy modelling, the proposed controller is independent of the robot dynamics. Also, the stability...

This paper discusses the role of the product modelling technology in construction robotics control. Information models for the representation of construction product and process information enable more intelligent behaviour of construction robot tools, because construction knowledge can be transferred into the robots. In this paper an information model is presented for product as well as proces...

The environment sensing through visual perception can be obtained by an efficient and reliable landmark modelling. This paper proposes a novel landmark modelling approach to the classification of both the predefined and novelty features in the robot environment. The approach integrates image descriptors for defined landmarks (natural and artificial) and novelty features being dynamically detect...

This paper addresses the problem of perception and localisation for a mobile robot in an unknown environment. It describes a modelling of the environment based on two certainty grids: one local model and the other one a global model. Localisation of the robot is reduced to nding the best alignment of the local certainty grid onto the global certainty grid. Four localisation procedures to correc...
