Unmanned underwater vehicles are crucial for deep-sea exploration and inspection without imposing any danger to human life due to extreme environmental conditions. But, designing a robust controller that can cope with model uncertainties, external disturbances, and time delays for such vehicles is a…
Assessment of minimally invasive surgical skills is a non-trivial task, usually requiring the presence and time of expert observers, including subjectivity and requiring special and expensive equipment and software. This study develops an algorithm for tracking laparoscopy instruments in the video c…
This paper presents measurements of human hand-impedance during a laparoscopic training program with physically interactive robotic manipulators. The knowledge of how the hand-impedance changes due to training might be useful to inform better training programs and to introduce co-manipulated robotic…
