Haptic information in Internet-based teleoperation

Five Fingers Haptic Interface Robot HIRO: Design, Rendering, and Applications

“…Many literatures have identified the importance of multifinger display in the field of haptics (Wall et al, 2001). Haptic interfaces have been utilized in the area of tele-manipulation (Ivanisevic et al, 2000) (Dubey et al, 2001) (Elhajj et al, 2001) (Ando et al, 2001), interaction with micro/nano scale phenomenon (Guthold et al, 2000) (Marliere et al, 2004), medical training and evaluation (Basdogan et al, 2001) (Bardorfer et al, 2001) (Langrana et al, 1994). Multifinger haptic interface has a higher potential for the above mentioned applications than that of a single point haptic interface.…”

Virtual System Calibration Based on Jitter Prediction of Internet Time-delay for Teleoperation Systems

“…With the development of Internet and robotics technology, teleoperation technology has been utilized successfully in the domain of nuclear waste disposal, medical applications, remote maintenance and monitoring and etc., government agencies are also utilizing remotely operated devices to reduce human risk (Elhajj et al, 2001;Wang et al, 2005;Li et al, 2008). However, the Internet uncertain time delays still constitute the most challenging and distinct difficulties.…”

Stiffness-Force Feedback in UAV Tele-Operation

“…Tele-operation usually involves the use of a visual interface on a ground station, providing a navigation display and an outside visual generated by a camera mounted onboard the vehicle. The visual information, however, is usually not sufficient due to for instance a limited field of view, leading to an often not very efficient and sometimes even unsafe tele-operation (Elhaij et al, 2001;McCarley & Wickens, 2005). Previous research efforts indicated that a haptic interface, using force feedback via a haptic control device, can be used to complement the visual interface.…”
