BACKGROUND: Past studies have utilized external interfaces like resistive bands and motor-generated pulling systems to increase limb propulsion during walking on a motorized treadmill. However, assessing changes in limb propulsion against increasing ...
To achieve a smooth and safe guiding of a drone formation by a human operator, we propose a novel interaction strategy for a human-swarm communication, which combines impedance control and vibrotactile feedback. The presented approach takes into acco...
Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to...
The interaction of robot teams and single human in teleoperation scenarios is beneficial in cooperative tasks, for example, the manipulation of heavy and large objects in remote or dangerous environments. The main control challenge of the interaction...
Although robotic telemanipulation has always been a key technology for the nuclear industry, little advancement has been seen over the last decades. Despite complex remote handling requirements, simple mechanically linked master-slave manipulators st...
Robotic walkers are a promising solution for physical and cognitive support to older adults. This paper proposes a low cost path following strategy combining the advantages of a simple mechanical braking guidance, such as safety, passivity, and a low...
Minimally invasive robotic surgery allows for many advantages over traditional surgical procedures, but the loss of force feedback combined with a potential for strong grasping forces can result in excessive tissue damage. Single modality haptic feed...
