The artificial tactile perception system of this work utilizes a fully connected spiking neural network (SNN) comprising two layers. Its architecture is streamlined and energy-efficient as it directly integrates spiking tactile neurons with piezoresi...
The Time Domain Passivity Approach (TDPA) has been accepted as one of least conservative tools for designing stabilizing controllers in haptics and teleoperation, but it still suffers from conservatism because it is based on passivity. Additionally, ...
Model-Mediated Teleoperation (MMT) between a haptic device and a remote or virtual environment uses a local model of the environment to compensate for latency of communication. MMT is often case-specific, and requires underlying latency distributions...

Children with physical impairments may have trouble effectively performing the hand movements used in haptic exploration and may miss information about object properties. Assistive robotic systems with haptic feedback may enable children with physica...
The Industry 5.0 paradigm has a human-centered vision of the industrial scenario and foresees a close collaboration between humans and robots. Industrial manufacturing environments must be easily adaptable to different task requirements, possibly tak...
Haptic temporal signal recognition plays an important supporting role in robot perception. This paper investigates how to improve classification performance on multiple types of haptic temporal signal datasets using a Transformer model structure. By ...
As robots are increasingly participating in our daily lives, the quests to mimic human abilities have driven the advancements of robotic multimodal senses. However, current perceptual technologies still unsatisfied robotic needs for home tasks/enviro...
Fully autonomous vehicles, capable of completing entire end-to-end journeys without the interference of a human driver, will be one of the biggest transforming technologies of the next decades. As the journey towards fully autonomous vehicles progres...
Robot-assisted endovascular intervention has the potential to reduce radiation exposure to surgeons and enhance outcomes of interventions. However, the success and safety of endovascular interventions depend on surgeons' ability to accurately manipul...
