报告摘要：The rapid population aging has been pushing the primary focus of robotic research from industrial robots that are separated from humans to service robots that coexist and cooperate with humans. A key feature of service robots is that they may physically interact with humans so that safety is the foremost concern. Passive compliant actuation is a natural way toward safe physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), whereas active compliant control is an enablingtechnology to achieve safe pHRI.Conventional robot systems usually increase control gains to compensate for high nonlinearities of the robot dynamics resulting in potentially dangerous motion, unsafe pHRI, and degraded closed-loop stability. On the contrary, biological systems employ compliant and robust control via low control gains, which avoids the drawbacks of conventional robot control.In this talk, the compliant actuation designis briefly introduced and novelbioinspired adaptive and learning control strategies are presented for robots driven by compliant actuators. The effectiveness and superiority of these control strategies are demonstrated by both simulations and experiments.
