EEG-based trial-by-trial texture classification during active touch.

Scientific reports
Trial-by-trial texture classification analysis and identifying salient texture related EEG features during active touch that are minimally influenced by movement type and frequency conditions are the main contributions of this work. A total of twelve...

Gentle Versus Strong Touch Classification: Preliminary Results, Challenges, and Potentials.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Touch plays a crucial role in humans' nonverbal social and affective communication. It then comes as no surprise to observe a considerable effort that has been placed on devising methodologies for automated touch classification. For instance, such an...

A generalized predictive control for remote cardiovascular surgical systems.

ISA transactions
Robot-assisted cardiovascular surgery is used to avoid surgeon suffering from X-ray radiation and relieve fatigue caused by long-time standing wearing protective clothing. Its remote surgery can alleviate the lack of experienced doctors in remote are...

Haptic-Guided Teleoperation of a 7-DoF Collaborative Robot Arm With an Identical Twin Master.

IEEE transactions on haptics
In this article, we describe two techniques to enable haptic-guided teleoperation using 7-DoF cobot arms as master and slave devices. A shortcoming of using cobots as master-slave systems is the lack of force feedback at the master side. However, rec...

Caring About the Human Operator: Haptic Shared Control for Enhanced User Comfort in Robotic Telemanipulation.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Haptic shared control enables a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the control of a robotic system using haptic active constraints. It has been used in robotic teleoperation for different purposes, such as navigating along paths min...

Enabling In-Bore MRI-Guided Biopsies With Force Feedback.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Limited physical access to target organs of patients inside an MRI scanner is a major obstruction to real-time MRI-guided interventions. Traditional teleoperation technologies are incompatible with the MRI environment and although several solutions h...

A bioinspired analogous nerve towards artificial intelligence.

Nature communications
A bionic artificial device commonly integrates various distributed functional units to mimic the functions of biological sensory neural system, bringing intricate interconnections, complicated structure, and interference in signal transmission. Here ...

Haptic Teleoperation of UAVs Through Control Barrier Functions.

IEEE transactions on haptics
This article presents a novel approach to haptic teleoperation. Specifically, we use control barrier functions (CBFs) to generate force feedback to help human operators safely fly quadrotor UAVs. CBFs take a control signal as input and output a contr...

Learning efficient haptic shape exploration with a rigid tactile sensor array.

PloS one
Haptic exploration is a key skill for both robots and humans to discriminate and handle unknown objects or to recognize familiar objects. Its active nature is evident in humans who from early on reliably acquire sophisticated sensory-motor capabiliti...

The Interaction Between Feedback Type and Learning in Routine Grasping With Myoelectric Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on haptics
While prosthetic fitting after upper-limb loss allows for restoration of motor functions, it deprives the amputee of tactile sensations that are essential for grasp control in able-bodied subjects. Therefore, it is commonly assumed that restoring the...
