When touching the surface of an object, its spatial structure translates into a vibration on the skin. The perceptual system evolved to translate this pattern into a representation that allows to distinguish between different materials. Here, we show...

PURPOSE: Effective and efficient haptic guidance is desirable for tele-operated robotic surgery because it has a potential to enhance surgeon's skills, especially in coronary interventions where surgeon loses both an eye-hand coordination and a direc...
Efficient and low-delay exchange of hapticinformation plays a key role for the design of high-fidelity teleoperation systems that operate over real-world communication networks. In the presence of communication unreliabilities such as delay and packe...
Variable stiffness actuation has applications in a wide range of fields, including wearable haptics, soft robots, and minimally invasive surgical devices. There have been numerous design approaches to control and tune stiffness and rigidity; however,...
Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation. This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our brain's ability to learn, adapt, and interface with augmentation devices....
