This tutorial revisits several of the most recent passivity-based controllers for nonlinear
bilateral teleoperators with guaranteed stability properties. These schemes, which include …

Currently, the application of mobile ground robots spans a range of fields from surveillance,
search and rescue, exploration, agriculture, military among others. In unstructured and …

This article presents an overview of the current state of research and application of haptic
(primarily kinesthetic) feedback and force-based teleoperation in the context of surgical …

This survey addresses the subject of bilateral teleoperation, a research stream with more
than 50 years of history and one that continues to be a fertile ground for theoretical …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph, dedicated to dissipative linear or
nonlinear, autonomous or time-varying, smooth or nonsmooth, single-valued or set-valued …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

A bilateral adaptive control method based on PEB control structure is designed for a class of
time-delay force feedback teleoperation system without external interference and internal …

This article proposes a variable structure control with neural network and optimized
fractional-order selection policy for the sensorless telerobotic system with uncertain time …

Introducing some form of autonomy in robotic surgery is being considered by the medical
community to better exploit the potential of robots in the operating room. However, significant …

In this chapter we present an overview of the field of telerobotics with a focus on control
aspects. To acknowledge some of the earliest contributions and motivations the field has …
