This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Robotics, grade: A, National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), language: English, abstract: Haptic Feedback systems are used to sense the vibrations, touch and force in many real world problems for example gaming, virtual reality, mobiles, automotive industry and robotic surgery. Our work involves the design and development of a robotic arm at slave end which includes force and current sensors that allows the operator to get force feedback at the master end. Three methods of feedback are generally used i.e. Force Sensitive Resistors for object detection, Current Sensing for force feedback and Position estimation to replicate motion. The three mentioned methods are analyzed using graphs developed on the PC. Graphs are obtained by experiments on the gripper by using different objects. Master-Slave topology is used to attain some benefits over conventional control systems in term of ergonomics, accuracy and timing etc. There is an interactive GUI at master end to show us forces, size and motions at each joint of the slave unit. Along with the interactive GUI at master side, yaw and pitch motion of slave is also replicated at master end using master controller
Download or read book Cutaneous Haptic Feedback in Robotic Teleoperation written by Claudio Pacchierotti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work addresses the challenge of providing effective cutaneous haptic feedback in robotic teleoperation, with the objective of achieving the highest degree of transparency whilst guaranteeing the stability of the considered systems. On the one hand, it evaluates teleoperation systems that provide only cutaneous cues to the operator, thus guaranteeing the highest degree of safety. This cutaneous-only approach shows intermediate performance between no force feedback and full haptic feedback provided by a grounded haptic interface, and it is best suitable for those scenarios where the safety of the system is paramount, e.g., robotic surgery. On the other hand, in order to achieve a higher level of performance, this work also investigates novel robotic teleoperation systems with force reflection able to provide mixed cutaneous and kinesthetic cues to the operator. Cutaneous cues can compensate for the temporary reduction of kinesthetic feedback necessary to satisfy certain stability conditions. This state-of-the-art volume is oriented toward researchers, educators, and students who are interested in force feedback techniques for robotic teleoperation, cutaneous device design, cutaneous rendering methods and perception studies, as well as readers from different disciplines who are interested in applying cutaneous haptic technologies and methods to their field of interest.
Download or read book Human in the loop Teleoperation for Tactile driven Physical Interactions in Unstructured Environments written by Lionel Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unpredictability of unstructured environments poses a significant challenge to fully autonomous systems. A human in the loop can provide high-level decisions that leverage experience, context, and human creativity. Allowing humans to operate remotely through teleoperation improves flexibility and safety in hazardous conditions. Our work addresses human-in-the-loop teleoperation applications in assistive robotics and hazardous environments with granular materials. We demonstrate the critical role that haptic feedback plays in enabling humans and robots to operate in unstructured environments effectively. In study #1, we developed a tactile-based proximity sensing framework for estimating the distance to buried objects in granular materials by exploiting granular media jamming. As a sensorized robot finger displaces granular material towards a buried object, jamming granular particles leads to increased fingertip contact forces. A tactile sensor effectively acts as a proximity sensor when moved through granular materials. Using our framework, the distance to a buried object can be estimated using solely haptic feedback. In study #2, we developed a structured approach for estimating the orientation and diameter of cables buried in sand using a deformable, vision-based tactile sensor. Our orientation estimation method identifies the contact region of the cable by employing a proximity function that takes extracted image features as input. Our approach is compared with existing image feature extraction methods, including PCA and maximally stable extremal regions. Our framework demonstrates the effectiveness of tactile sensing when an object is partially or fully occluded in granular materials. In study #3, we designed a telepresence system with real-time auditory, visual, and haptic feedback. The system comprises a modified Stretch mobile manipulator with additional controllable degrees of freedom in the wrist and fingers. The operator interface consists of a virtual reality headset and a haptic glove. The operator controls the remote robot using intuitive controls based on motion tracking. To convey tactile information, the operator receives electrical impulses to stimulate the afferent sensory nerves of each finger driven by tactile feedback from the robot hand. In summary, we developed tactile-based systems and approaches to enhance human-in-the-loop teleoperation for applications in unstructured environments, such as in the home and in granular materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this book provide the first review of haptic optical tweezers, a new technique which brings together force feedback teleoperation and optical tweezers. This technique allows users to explore the microworld by sensing and exerting piconewton-scale forces with trapped microspheres. The design of optical tweezers for high-quality haptic feedback is challenging, given the requirements for very high sensitivity and dynamic stability. The concept, design process and specification of optical tweezers reviewed throughout this book focus on those intended for haptic teleoperation. The authors provide two new specific designs as well as the current state of the art. Furthermore, the remaining important issues are identified for further developments. Haptic optical tweezers will soon become an invaluable tool for force feedback micromanipulation of biological samples and nano- and micro-assembly parts.

Download or read book Teleoperated Grasping Using an Upgraded Haptic Enabled Human Like Robotic Hand and a CyberTouch Glove written by Qi Zhu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grasping, the skill to hold objects and tools while doing in-hand manipulation, still is in many cases an unsolvable problem for robotics, but a natural act for humans. An efficient grasping requires not only human-like robotic hands with articulated fingers but also tactile, force, and kinesthetic sensors for the precise control of the forces and motions exerted during the manipulation. As a fully autonomous robotic dexterous manipulation is too difficult to develop for changing and unstructured environments, an alternative approach is to combine the low-level robot computer control with the higher-level perception and task planning abilities of a human operator equipped with an adequate human-computer interface (HCI). This thesis presents theoretical and experimental contributions to the development of an upgraded haptic-enabled anthropomorphic Ring Ada dexterous robotic hand and a biology-inspired synergistic real-time control system for teleoperated grasping of different objects using a CyberTouch HCI data glove. A fuzzy logic controller module was developed to efficiently control the underactuated Ring Ada' robotic hand during grasping. A machine learning classification system was developed to recognize grasped objects. Experiments have convincingly demonstrated that our novel Ring Ada robotic hand equipped with kinematic position sensors and touch sensors is able to efficiently grasp different lightweight objects through teleoperation.
