BACKGROUND: For virtual skincare using a touch feedback interface, reconstructing a 3D skin tactile surface from a mobile skin image is imperative for a dermatologist to palpate the skin surface that presents tactile characteristics of the subcutaneo...
Recent studies have been inspired by natural whiskers for a proposal of tactile sensing system to augment the sensory ability of autonomous robots. In this study, we propose a novel artificial soft whisker sensor that is not only flexible but also ad...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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 ...
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...
