内容摘要Abstract： 

The past decades have seen robots move out from industrial floors to daily lives. They are no longer confined to closed environments but now co-exist and collaborate with humans in uncertain dynamic environments. In this regard, we must carefully deal with the interaction between a robot and its human partner. In this talk, I will introduce previous and ongoing works on robot control in physical human-robot interaction. Two research questions will be discussed: (i) how to model physical human-robot interaction and especially human motor control? (ii) how to design control strategies for a robot to interact with its human partner? These will be elaborated with target applications, including teaching by demonstration, tele-operation, robotic rehabilitation, etc. Future works and promising research directions will be then outlined.
