Year: 2024

As gestures play an important role in human communication, there have been a number of service robots equipped with a pair of human-like arms for gesture-based human-robot interactions. However, the arms of most human companion robots are limited to slow and simple gestures due to the low maximum velocity of the arm actuators. In this work, we present the JF-2 robot, a mobile home service robot equipped with a pair of torque-controlled anthropomorphic arms. Thanks to the low inertia design of th
