Arm-wrist haptic sleeve for drone teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Matteo Macchini

Teleoperators rely on both visual and haptic feedback to perform drone teleoperation tasks, such as obstacle avoidance. Haptic feedback becomes essential when visual feedback is compromised, either due to visual occlusions or poor depth perception. However ...

Does spontaneous motion lead to intuitive Body-Machine Interfaces? A fitness study of different body segments for wearable telerobotics

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini

Human-Robot Interfaces (HRIs) represent a crucial component in telerobotic systems. Body-Machine Interfaces (BoMIs) based on body motion can feel more intuitive than standard HRIs for naive users as they leverage humans’ natural control capability over the ...

Hand-worn Haptic Interface for Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini, Antoine Weber

Drone teleoperation is usually accomplished using remote radio controllers, devices that can be hard to master for inexperienced users. Moreover, the limited amount of information fed back to the user about the robot's state, often limited to vision, can r ...

Learning Trajectory Distributions for Assisted Teleoperation and Path Planning

Several approaches have been proposed to assist humans in co-manipulation and teleoperation tasks given demonstrated trajectories. However, these approaches are not applicable when the demonstrations are suboptimal or when the generalization capabilities o ...

Reinforcement learning of trajectory distributions: Applications in assisted teleoperation and motion planning

The majority of learning from demonstration approaches do not address suboptimal demonstrations or cases when drastic changes in the environment occur after the demonstrations were made. For example, in real teleoperation tasks, the demonstrations provided ...

Learning from demonstration for semi-autonomous teleoperation

Sylvain Calinon

Teleoperation in domains such as deep-sea or space often requires the completion of a set of recurrent tasks. We present a framework that uses a probabilistic approach to learn from demonstration models of manipulation tasks. We show how such a framework c ...
