Development and Comparison of Foot Interfaces for Controlling a Robotic Arm in Surgery

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Etienne Burdet, Elahe Abdi

Currently available foot interfaces to command an external assistive robotic arm for laparoscopic surgery typically consist of a couple of push buttons placed on a planar platform. In this paper, we develop and compare two foot interfaces implementing isot ...

Congruent Visuo-Tactile Feedback Facilitates the Extension of Peripersonal Space

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Michiel van Elk, Ali Sengül

Effective tool use relies on the integration of multisensory signals related to one's body and the tool. It has been shown that active tool use results in an extension of peripersonal space, i. e., the space directly surrounding the human body. In the pres ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

In a demanding task, three-handed manipulation is preferred to two-handed manipulation

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Etienne Burdet, Elahe Abdi

Equipped with a third hand under their direct control, surgeons may be able to perform certain surgical interventions alone; this would reduce the need for a human assistant and related coordination difficulties. However, does human performance improve wit ...
