Purpose This study aims to propose a force control algorithm based on neural networks, which enables a robot to follow … two robot–skin interaction experiments, compared with the traditional impedance control and robot force control algorithm … to facilitate real-time computation of the algorithm. Practical implications This algorithm can be applied to robot …

used for estimating and then detecting the robot’s collisions with the human operator during the cooperation task. This … training, and their effectiveness (%) in detecting the robot’s collisions. This review reveals that the NN is an effective … method in estimating and detecting the human-robot collisions …
