A Safety and Passivity Filter for Robot Teleoperation Systems [PDF]
, 2021 In this paper, we present a way of enforcing safety and passivity properties of robot teleoperation systems, where a human operator interacts with a dynamical system modeling the robot. The approach does so in a holistic fashion, by combining safety and passivity constraints in a single optimization-based controller which effectively filters the ...
