Industry 4.0 is moving factories towards a high level of collaboration between human
workers and industrial robots, with the aim of improving efficiency and productivity. Among …

Abstract Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) has recently received considerable attention in the
academic community, in labs, in technology companies, and through the media. Because of …

In this review, we explore how teleoperation could potentially be applied to the management
of humanoid robots, with an emphasis on humanoid robots that are used in assistive roles …

Haptic teleoperation enables the human to perform manipulation tasks in distant, scaled,
hazardous, or inaccessible environments. The human closes the control loop sending haptic …

Robots that solve complex tasks in environments too dangerous for humans to enter are
desperately needed, eg, for search and rescue applications. We describe our mobile …

We present Haptic Links, electro-mechanically actuated physical connections capable of
rendering variable stiffness between two commodity handheld virtual reality (VR) controllers …

We present a novel approach for the transmission of haptic data in telepresence and
teleaction systems. The goal of this work is to reduce the packet rate between an operator …

Robotics researchers have worked hard to realize a long-awaited vision: machines that can
eliminate the need for people to work in hazardous environments. Chapter 60 is framed by …

Shared autonomy combines user control of a robot with intelligent autonomous robot
behavior to help people perform tasks more quickly and with less effort. Current shared …

Bilateral teleoperation systems with haptic feedback allow human users to interact with
objects or perform complex tasks in remote or inaccessible environments. Communication …
