Online learning has become an effective approach to reach students who may not be able to
travel to university campuses for various reasons. Its use has also dramatically increased …

Restoring the capability to perform instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) is an
imperative step towards independent living for neurologically impaired individuals. Robot …

Thanks to the improvements experienced in technology during the last few years, most

Simulation involving interaction with deformable objects often causes stability problems
because a slowly updated force generates additional energy to the human user. This paper …

Discretization of signals often generates additional energy in the haptic systems, and makes
them unstable. The currently popular controls based on the passivity stabilize the systems by …

For humans and animals to recognise an object, the integration of multiple sensing methods
is essential when one sensing modality is only able to acquire limited information. Among …

The realism or transparency of haptic interfaces is becoming more critical as they are
applied to training in fields like minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Surgical training simulators …

The current state-of-the-art tele-medicine applications only allow audiovisual communication
between a doctor and the patient, necessitating a clinician to physically examine the patient …

With the worldwide rapid development of 5G networks, haptic communications, a key use
case of the 5G, has attracted increasing attentions nowadays. Its human-in-the-loop nature …
