Robotics is emerging as an important tool in various application areas such as medical, aerospace, manufacturing, and search and rescue. With this growth, there is higher levels of physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI), there are more shared spaces between the two, and therefore, there is more potential for unsafe interactions and collisions. This research aims at developing generic control and sensing strategies which can ensure stability of pHRI and better react to collisions in order to increase human safety and minimize the risk of injuries. An emphasis will be given to rehabilitation robotic platforms though the results are equally applicable to industrial applications. Due to the importance of mobility to the quality of life, this research also investigates bipedal walking balance in robots and human and proposes and validates interactive technologies to enhance balance in people with balance impairment.

机器人技术正在成为医疗、航空航天、制造、搜索和救援等各个应用领域的重要工具。随着这种增长，有更高水平的物理人机交互（pHRI），两者之间有更多的共享空间，因此，有更多的潜在不安全的交互和碰撞。本研究旨在开发通用的控制和传感策略，可以确保pHRI的稳定性，并更好地对碰撞作出反应，以提高人体安全性，并最大限度地减少受伤的风险。重点将给予康复机器人平台，虽然结果同样适用于工业应用。由于移动性对生活质量的重要性，本研究还研究了机器人和人类的双足步行平衡，并提出和验证了交互式技术，以提高平衡障碍人群的平衡。
