Robotic interfaces for cognitive psychology and embodiment research: A research roadmap.

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science
Advanced human-machine interfaces render robotic devices applicable to study and enhance human cognition. This turns robots into formidable neuroscientific tools to study processes such as the adaptation between a human operator and the operated robo...

Force Analysis and Evaluation of a Pelvic Support Walking Robot with Joint Compliance.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The force analysis of a pelvic support walking robot with joint compliance is discussed in this paper. During gait training, pelvic motions of hemiplegic patients may be excessively large or out of control; however, restriction of pelvic motions is n...

Design and Evaluation of a Motorized Robotic Bed Mover With Omnidirectional Mobility for Patient Transportation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Patient transportation in hospitals faces many challenges, including the limited manpower, work-related injuries, and low efficiency of current bed pushing methods. This paper presents a new motorized robotic bed mover with omnidirectional mobility t...

An Uncontrolled Manifold Analysis of Arm Joint Variability in Virtual Planar Position and Orientation Telemanipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: In teleoperated robot-assisted tasks, the user interacts with manipulators to finely control remote tools. Manipulation of robotic devices, characterized by specific kinematic and dynamic proprieties, is a complex task for the human sensor...

Tele-Manipulation with Two Asymmetric Slaves: Two Operators Perform Better Than One.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Certain tele-manipulation tasks require manipulation by two asymmetric slaves, for example, a crane for hoisting and a dexterous robotic arm for fine manipulation. It is unclear how to best design human-in-the-loop control over two asymmetric slaves....

Enhancing the effectiveness of human-robot teaming with a closed-loop system.

Applied ergonomics
With technological developments in robotics and their increasing deployment, human-robot teams are set to be a mainstay in the future. To develop robots that possess teaming capabilities, such as being able to communicate implicitly, the present stud...

Using Temporal Sensitivity to Predict Performance Under Latency in Teleoperation.

Human factors
Objective This article establishes a relationship between temporal sensitivity and task performance under one-way latency between input and response. Background As the latency between human input and telerobot response increases, performance (e.g., s...

Influence of Size-Weight Illusion on Usability in Haptic Human-Robot Collaboration.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Collaborative power amplifying robots are accepted as one solution to overcome flexibility and ergonomic issues in future work and life scenarios. The handling of various sized and weighted objects in heterogeneous environments pose a particular chal...

Human interaction with robotic systems: performance and workload evaluations.

Ergonomics
We first tested the effect of differing tactile informational forms (i.e. directional cues vs. static cues vs. dynamic cues) on objective performance and perceived workload in a collaborative human-robot task. A second experiment evaluated the influe...
