About
Eddo Hobert is a researcher advancing the safety and interactivity of physical human–robot interaction (pHRI). His work centers on developing coordinate-invariant control frameworks and safety certification processes for robots that work alongside people. In his highly cited 2021 paper, "Energy budgets for coordinate invariant robot control in physical human–robot interaction," Hobert addresses two critical hazards in pHRI—collisions and clamping scenarios—by proposing energy-based safety measures that are independent of coordinate systems, a key step toward more robust and generalizable robot safety standards. This work has garnered 35 citations, reflecting its importance in the robotics safety community. Hobert also explores flexible sensing technologies, as seen in his 2017 paper on 3D printed flexible fingertip strain sensors, which combines conductive and non-conductive materials to create adaptable force sensors for robotic and human fingertips. By bridging theoretical safety frameworks with practical sensor design, Hobert contributes to making human-robot collaboration safer, more intuitive, and more widely deployable in real-world settings.
