Impulsive Force

Impulsive force research focuses on understanding and controlling the forces generated during brief, high-impact interactions. Current research emphasizes developing methods to predict, mitigate, and even utilize these forces in diverse applications, ranging from robotic manipulation of objects with high momentum to designing safer human-robot interaction systems. This involves employing advanced control algorithms, such as sequential quadratic programming and multi-mode trajectory optimization, and incorporating compliant materials and sensors to reduce impact forces and improve safety. The findings are crucial for advancing robotics, particularly in areas requiring dynamic interactions and safe collaboration with humans.
