This survey addresses the subject of bilateral teleoperation, a research stream with more
than 50 years of history and one that continues to be a fertile ground for theoretical …

Teleoperated minimally invasive surgical robots can significantly enhance a surgeon's
accuracy, dexterity and visualization. However, current commercially available systems do …

A new bilateral control scheme is proposed to ensure stable teleoperation under a wide
variety of environments and operating speeds. System stability is analyzed in terms of the …

This paper studies the advantages of employing local force feedback for enhanced stability
and performance in teleoperation systems. It also shows how a class of three-channel …

Deploying robots to explore venues that are inaccessible to humans, or simply inhospitable,
has been a longstanding ambition of scientists, engineers, and explorers across numerous …

Teleoperation means" doing work at a distance", although by" work" we mean almost
anything. What we mean by" distance" is also vague: it can refer to a physical distance …

Researchers have been extensively, but often independently, investigating Wireless Sensor
Networks (WSNs), Mobile Robotics, and Teleoperation. Lately, due to the complementary …

Real-time estimates of environment dynamics play an important role in the design of
controllers for stable interaction between robotic manipulators and unknown environments …

The extension of parallel force/position control to teleoperation systems is considered in this
article. In the proposed four‐channel bilateral controller, higher priority is granted to position …

A bilateral teleoperation controller is presented in the article. The master and slave
manipulators are controlled in impedance mode, with their target impedances adjusted in a …
