Prof. Dr. Tadej Petrič delivered an invited talk entitled “From Physical Interaction to Adaptive Bodies in Humanoid Robotics” at the workshop “Recent Advancements in Actuator Technologies in Humanoid Robots,” organized as part of the IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics (ICARM 2026).
The presentation addressed recent developments in physical human–robot interaction, adaptive robotic systems, and actuator technologies for humanoid and wearable robots. Particular emphasis was placed on the development of robotic bodies that can adapt to the user, the task, and the environment, thereby enabling safer and more effective interaction between humans and robots.
