One of the options to reduce CO2 emissions as a result of transport, is to decrease the number of vehicle kilometres driven. Carpooling and teleworking are possibilities to obtain that goal. The paper will analyse their potential contribution.

Design and Evaluation of Haptic Interface Wiggling Method for Remote Commanding of Variable Stiffness Profiles

Unlike many traditional stiff position-controlled robots, new collaborative robots interact with humans and operate in an environment that is often unpredictable and unknown. For safe and effective executions of manipulation tasks within such an environment, the robot requires to modulate its compliance. Therefore, the human operator must have a...
