Enhancing the Perception of Safety and Comfort during Physical Human-Robot Handshake Interactions by Integrating Flexible Elements into a Robotic Arm

Safety and comfort in human-robot physical in-teractions are essential aspects in the development of social technologies, where natural gestures, such as handshakes, represent a challenge due to their direct physical contact. The implementation of series elastic actuators (SEA) to absorb impacts is proposed as a design...
