AA&I

AA&I stands for adaptive dmittance or impedance control. It can achieve desired behavior between a robot and its environment.

Both admittance and impedance control provide ways to regulate the interaction between a robot and its environment. These control strategies are crucial for applications such as robotic assembly, manipulation, physical human-robot interaction, and haptic feedback systems.

I focus on research in the IEEExplore database. It is important to note that the views expressed in the following paper are those of the author and do not reflect my personal opinions. This page collects recent research effort in this line. (Update: June 2024)
