Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
A new haptic feedback mechanism with five active degrees of freedom (dof), part of a training simulator for urological operations, is presented. The mechanism consists of a 2-dof 5...
— We present a fast method for solving rigid body contact problems with friction, based on optimizations incorporated into Lemke’s algorithm for solving linear complementarity ...
—A major issue in the field of human-robot interaction for assistance to manipulation is transparency. This basic feature qualifies the capacity for a robot to follow human mov...
— The uncanny valley theory proposed by Mori in 1970 has been a hot topic in human robot interaction research, in particular since the development of increasingly human-like andr...
