This paper focuses on peg-in-hole assembly based on a two-phase scheme and force/torque sensor (F/T sensor) for a compliant dual-arm robot, the Baxter robot. The coordinated operations of human beings in assembly applications are applied to the behaviors of the robot. A two-phase assembly scheme is proposed to overcome the inaccurate positioning of the compliant dual-arm robot. The position and orientation of assembly pieces are adjusted respectively in an active compliant manner according to the forces and torques derived by a six degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) F/T sensor. Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed assembly scheme. The performances of the dual-arm robot are consistent with those of human beings in the peg-in-hole assembly process. The peg and hole with 0.5 mm clearance for round pieces and square pieces can be assembled successfully.

Single-port surgical robots have gained popularity due to less patient trauma and quicker post-surgery recovery. However, due to limited access provided by a single incision, the miniaturization and maneuverability of these robots still needs to be improved. In this paper, we propose the design of a single-port, dual-arm robotically steerable endoscope containing one steerable major cannula and two steerable minor cannulas.

Humanoid robots are becoming a global research focus. Due to the limitations of bipedal walking technology, mobile humanoid robots equipped with a wheeled chassis and dual arms have emerged as the most suitable configuration for performing complex tasks in factory or home environments. To address the high redundancy issue arising from the wheeled chassis and dual-arm design of mobile humanoid robots, this study proposes a whole-body coordinated motion control algorithm based on arm potential energy optimization.

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.

Future humanoid robots will be widely deployed in our daily lives. Motion planning and control in an unstructured, confined, and human-centered environment utilizing dexterity and a cooperative ability of dual-arm robots is still an open issue. We propose a globally guided dual-arm reactive motion controller (GGDRC) that combines the strengths of global planning and reactive methods.

Objective: A robotic fast dual-arm patch clamp system with controllable mechanical stimulation is proposed in this paper for mechanosensitive excitability research of neurons in brain slice.
Methods: First, a kinematic model of a dual-arm patch clamp system combined with Monte Carlo method is developed to calculate the workspaces of recording micropipette and stimulation micropipette, and optimize the length of end effector for reducing collision incidences during operation. Then, a quantitative stimulation method to cells using one micropipette is developed based on pressing depth control.
