Abstract
A method for controlling a human-robot collaboration (HRC) system wherein the HRC system includes at least one manipulator having an end effector. The method includes using the end effector in a first operating mode, wherein the end effector is operated with reduced power; monitoring whether a desired object is manipulated when the end effector is used in the first operating mode; and increasing the power used to operate the end effector in order to use the end effector in a second operating mode when the monitoring indicates that the desired object is being manipulated.
