Haptic guidance can be beneficial for aiding or training human users in many applications, such as teleoperation, rehabilitation, and navigation. Existing world-grounded haptic devices can provide effective multi-degree-of-freedom movement guidance. Wearable or holdable haptic devices can enable lar
Adapting robot actions to human motions can make human-robot interactions (HRI) more effective. Here, we aim to optimize guidance from haptic devices based on a user's response to produce better task performance. We used Gaussian processes to model the motions a human user made in response to applie…
Wearable haptic feedback devices for virtual reality, human-robot interaction, and motion guidance require lightweight actuators that display clearly discernible cues to the user. These goals motivate the design of WRAP, a wearable, pneumatically actuated haptic feedback device. WRAP displays a vari…
In bilateral teleoperation, user performance, user acceptance, and transparency are functions of the control laws that govern slave tracking and master force feedback. This study investigates the effects of teleoperator stability margin and quantization error noise on performance, likeability, and r
