Wave-based teleoperation with prediction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001-06)
Wave variables based on passivity and scattering theory provide a good tool for establishing bilateral teleoperation in the presence of a constant time delay. Recently, these techniques have been extended to be used for a ...
Design and Control of a Multiple Degree of Freedom Haptic Interface
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1994-11)
The role of robotics in society is no longer restricted to assembly and manufacturing. Robots are finding their way into a wide spectrum of tasks that directly link human and machine. Haptic interfaces are robots that are ...
Contact Stability Analysis of Virtual Walls
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-11)
Haptic interfaces are mechanical systems coupled to humans. These devices provide a method of relaying mechanical information between a human and a computer generated environment. A basic element in any virtual environment ...
Adaptive impedance control for bilateral teleoperation of long reach flexible manipulators
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-07)
Current applications in the field of telerobotics, such as space based assembly and nuclear waste remediation, require the use of long reach manipulators. These robots are characterized by their large workspace and reduced ...
Control Techniques and Programming Issues for Time Delayed Internet Based Teleoperation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-06)
This article focuses on Internet-based real time control, such as remote bilateral teleoperation. In such applications it is required that the control loop be closed around a time delayed network. Although various researchers ...
Optimal path planning for the motion of a wheel
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1994-05)
In this paper, the authors examine optimal path planning for the motion of a wheel which minimizes some combination of time and effort expended. Several techniques are examined but a combination of continuation and ...
