Tactile exploration enables robots to acquire rich mechanical information about objects through physical interaction and enhances their perception and manipulation in unstructured environments. However, existing tactile object recognition methods are limited by closed-set assumptions, recognizing on
Through the use of robotic supernumerary limbs, it has been proposed that a single user could perform tasks like surgery or industrial assembly that currently require a team. Although validation studies, often conducted in virtual reality, have demonstrated that individuals can learn to command supe
Teleoperation is increasingly recognized as a viable solution for deploying robots in hazardous environments. Controlling a robot to perform a complex or demanding task may overload operators resulting in poor performance. To design a robot controller to assist the human in executing such challengin
Robotic bimanual training can benefit from understanding how to modify human motor effort in bimanual tasks. We addressed this issue by carrying out a study to investigate whether and how penalizing the use of one hand could alter the hands’ effort distribution. Actuated haptic perturbations and alt
This letter introduces a sensory augmentation technique enabling a contact robot to understand its human user's control in real-time and integrate their reference trajectory information into its own sensory feedback to improve the tracking performance. The human's control is formulated as a feedback
The study of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) has attracted much attention in recent years. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no single software platform exists for researchers to perform different types of analyses for CDPRs of arbitrary structure. In this paper, the Cable-robot A…
