Touch is currently seen as the modality that will complement audition and vision as a third
media stream over the Internet in a variety of future haptic applications which will allow full …

During traditional surgery, the surgeons' hands are in direct contact with organs, and
surgeons rely on the sense of touch to perform surgery. In teleoperated robotic systems, all …

In this paper, a two-layer approach is presented to guarantee the stable behavior of bilateral
telemanipulation systems in the presence of time-varying destabilizing factors such as hard …

In this chapter we present an overview of the field of telerobotics with a focus on control
aspects. To acknowledge some of the earliest contributions and motivations the field has …

Cutaneous haptic feedback can be used to enhance the performance of robotic
teleoperation systems while guaranteeing their safety. Delivering ungrounded cutaneous …

Cutaneous haptic feedback has recently received great attention from researchers in the
robotic teleoperation field, as it has been proven to convey rich information to the human …

A novel sensory substitution technique is presented. Kinesthetic and cutaneous force
feedback are substituted by cutaneous feedback (CF) only, provided by two wearable …

In the haptic human-robot interaction systems, stability and transparency factors are critical
but conflicting with one another. Ensuring safety and accuracy of bilateral haptic …

This study presents a novel approach to force feedback in robot-assisted surgery. It consists
of substituting haptic stimuli, composed of a kinesthetic component and a skin deformation …

Performance and stability are both affected due to time delay in bilateral teleoperation.
Recent researches have reported the effectiveness of applying predictive control …
