This paper presents a methodology for bilateral teleoperation of robots based on the use of point cloud data obtained with an RGB-D camera for providing haptic feedback, as well as a virtual robot workspace that allows the ...

Object manipulation and fluid, goal-directed, movements require sensory information for effective execution. Amputees lose this intrinsic feedback when controlling their artificial limbs and must instead rely on visual ...

Current prosthesis systems use haptic technology, have a brain-machine interaction that is dependent on visual feedback from the user, also have limitations by the details of the sense of touch both textures, roughness, ...

"Telesurgery, or remote surgery, is widely known as a master-slave technology. It has achieved a milestone in surgical technology and intervention, providing widespread prospects of operating on a patient in a remote area ...

Smart Walkers are robotic devices that may be used to improve the stability in people with lower limb weakness or poor balance. Such devices may also offer support for cognitive disabilities and for people that cannot ...

Human sense of touch is used to explore the environment that surrounds us, and to identify and learn about objects through the surface properties. In the design of a robotic system that is able to analyze and identify ...

Teleoperation of robotic tasks is usually performed in the Cartesian space due to the kinematic differences between the master and the slave. This entails several requirements, like the definition of a proper mapping ...
