Haptic robots help solve design issues
Anna KochanNew haptic robot arms with powerful force feedback could help product design engineers check out complex assembly problems in a virtual reality environment. Companies in…
Manipulators help out with plaster panels in construction
Pablo Gonzalez de Santos, Joaquin Estremera, Maria A. Jimenez, E. Garcia, M. ArmadaBuilding construction is a great area for automation, but the incorporation of robots in the construction industry is a very slow affair because of the intrinsic…
HapticMaster – a generic force controlled robot for human interaction
R.Q. van der Linde, P. LammertseThis paper describes the technical principles of a high‐performance force controlled robot, called the HapticMaster. It is designed as a generic platform for applications…
Technologies for haptic displays in teleoperation
G.J. Monkman, S. Egersdörfer, A. Meier, H. Böse, M. Baumann, H. Ermert, W. Kahled, H. FreimuthSince the 1960s many alphanumeric to tactile data conversion methods have been investigated, mainly with the ultimate aim of assisting the blind. More recently, interest…
Haptic feedback applications for Robonaut
M.K. O'Malley, R.O. AmbroseRobonaut is a humanoid robot designed by the Robotic Systems Technology Branch at NASA's Johnson Space Center in a collaborative effort with Defense Advanced Research…
Bristle mechanism study of a shape reconfigurable brush robot
Zhelong WangThis work introduces the concept of a shape reconfigurable brush robot used for work in collapsed buildings or tunnels. This paper presents the bristle mechanism and…
Haptic communication for mobile robot operations
Dave Barnes, Mike CounsellTeleoperations in hazardous environments are often hampered by the lack of available information regarding the state of the remote robotic device. Typically, ideal camera…
A family of co‐robotic surgical set‐ups
Francesco Cepolina, Rinaldo C. MicheliniThe paper describes co‐robotic devices, aiming at accomplishing surgical operations by remote overseeing and manipulation. The concept design of a modular layout is…
Miniature pipe robots
Zengxi Pan, Zhenqi ZhuThe inspection and maintenance of small pipes with diameter of 1 in. or below are important tasks given the crucial role of these pipes in various applications, including…
Model‐based robot teleoperation with haptic interface
Woo‐Keun Yoon, Yuichi Tsumaki, Masaru UchiyamaAn experimental teleoperation system for space robotics has been developed. The purpose of using this system is the development of space robot teleoperation technologies…
Exoskeletons for human force augmentation
M. Brown, N. Tsagarakis, D.G. CaldwellThis paper reviews the current status of devices for use as exoskeletons for assisting or constraining human movements. Applications include teleoperation and force…
