Long-distance teleoperation will enable forthcoming scientific and commercial developments on the lunar surface such as in-situ resource utilisation. However, the large distances involved in these applications introduce multi-second signal delays, which may impair user performance and lead to reduce…
Exploiting the high conductivity and fluidity of liquid metal, Coil-Tac is a soft transduction mechanism based on measuring change in capacitance as a flowable liquid metal core moves within a conductive helical coil. Using finite difference methods, a model is derived that estimates the response of

Teleoperated robotics will be an essential tool to support upcoming lunar exploration and in-situ resource utilisation activities. However, the communication delays between Earth and the Moon makes operating these robots extremely challenging. Model-Mediated Teleoperation (MMT) is a method of contro
Redundant manipulators offer a continuum of joint configurations which satisfy a specific end-effector pose, an advantage when operating within confined spaces. This, how-ever, challenges a controller to select a single goal configuration from a wide range when path planning. This paper outlines the…
Robot-assisted percutaneous needle insertion is expected to significantly increase targeting accuracy in minimally invasive operations. For this, it is necessary to provide mathematical models that can accurately capture the underlying dynamics of medical needles. Here, we present a novel nonlinear…
