To perform robust grasping, a multi-fingered robotic hand should be able to adapt its grasping configuration, i.e., how the object is grasped, to maintain the stability of the grasp. Such a change of grasp configuration is called grasp adaptation and it de ...
Minimally invasive surgeries on the lungs have eliminated the ability for surgeons to place their hands on the patient's organ to feel for abnormalities. Therefore, in this paper, a force sensor for 2 degrees of freedom haptic applications is described. It ...
Human reaction to external stimuli can be investigated in a comprehensive way by using a versatile virtual-reality setup involving multiple display technologies. It is apparent that versatility remains a main challenge when human reactions are examined thr ...
In this paper we present a framework to learn a model-free feedback controller for locomotion and balance control of a compliant quadruped robot walking on rough terrain. Having designed an open-loop gait encoded in a Central Pattern Generator (CPG), we us ...
In the field of surgical robotics, it is difficult to find objective assessment techniques for evaluating telepresence. In this study we try to merge the concepts from cognitive neuroscience more specifically from the field of tool incorporation (embodimen ...
The present article looks at the problem of iterative controller tuning, where the parameters of a given controller are adapted in an iterative manner to bring the user-defined performance metric to a local minimum for some repetitive process. Specifically ...
Full-duplex communication is realized by using ASK modulation for downlink (the channel from controller to the implant) and by using FSK modulation for uplink (from implant to the controller). The ASK modulation is done at the remote powering frequency and ...
