Constructive exploration of spatial information by blind users
When blind people wish to walk through an area not fully known to them, they have to prepare themselves even more thoroughly than sighted pedestrians. We propose a new approach to...

Tuning the gains of haptic couplings to improve force feedback stability in nanorobotics
— This paper deals with the problem of bilateral haptic control in nanorobotics. At this scale, a human operator cannot interact directly with objects. He needs special tools man...
