As autonomous robots increasingly become part of daily life, they will often encounter
dynamic environments while only having limited information about their surroundings …

The growth of space debris is becoming a severe issue that urgently requires mitigation
measures based on maintenance, repair, and de-orbiting technologies. Such on-orbit …

Certain telerobotic applications, including telerobotics in space, pose particularly
demanding challenges to both technology and humans. Traditional bilateral …

We present a virtual reality platform which addresses and integrates some of the currently
challenging research topics in the field of virtual assembly: realistic and practical scenarios …

Surgical robots for laparoscopy consist of several patient side slave manipulators that are
controlled via surgeon operated master telemanipulators. Commercial surgical robots do not …

What are the technological bottlenecks in virtual assembly simulations with haptic feedback?
To tackle this question, we present an evaluation study in which real feedback modalities …

The observation of robotic assembly tasks is required as feedback for decisions and
adaption of the task execution on the current situation. A sequential Monte Carlo observation …

Ice-water coupling is a unique fluid-solid interaction problem characterized by collisions and
hydrodynamic interaction between multiple bodies, accompanied by significant changes in …

We present U nrealHaptics, a novel set of plugins that enable both 3-DOF and 6-DOF haptic
rendering in the Unreal Engine 4. The core is the combination of the integration of a state-of …

This work presents an evaluation study in which the effects of a penalty-based and a
constraint-based haptic rendering algorithm on the user performance and perception are …
