Kinesthetic teaching allows the direct skill transfer from the human to the robot through physical human-robot interaction. However, it is heavily affected by the robot’s dynamics and the control scheme utilized for the physical interaction. In this work, we aim at assisting the human-teacher by reducing her/his physical and cognitive load. To this aim, we propose a controller with virtual fixture...
