Enabling four-arm laparoscopic surgery by controlling two robotic assistants via haptic foot interfaces

Aude Billard, Mohamed Bouri, Walid Amanhoud, Jacob Hernandez Sanchez

Robotic surgery is a promising direction to improve surgeons and assistants’ daily life with respect to conventional surgery. In this work, we propose solo laparoscopic surgery in which two robotic arms, controlled via haptic foot interfaces, assist the ta ...

Self-Correcting Quadratic Programming-Based Robot Control

Aude Billard, Farshad Khadivar, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis

Quadratic Programming (QP)-based controllers allow many robotic systems, such as humanoids, to successfully undertake complex motions and interactions. However, these approaches rely heavily on adequately capturing the underlying model of the environment a ...

Plasmonic Nanofluids: Enhancing Photothermal Gradients toward Liquid Robots

Giulia Tagliabue, Matteo Bevione

In situ energy generation in soft, flexible, autonomous devices is challenging due to the need for highly stretchable and fault-resistant components. Nanofluids with pyro-, tribo-, or thermoelectric properties have recently emerged as promising solutions f ...

Learning to Guide Online Multi-Contact Receding Horizon Planning

Sylvain Calinon, Teguh Santoso Lembono

In Receding Horizon Planning (RHP), it is critical that the motion being executed facilitates the completion of the task, e.g. building momentum to overcome large obstacles. This requires a value function to inform the desirability of robot states. However ...

Electro-Adhesive Tubular Clutch for Variable-Stiffness Robots

Dario Floreano, Yi Sun, Krishna Manaswi Digumarti, Hoang Vu Phan, Omar Aloui

Electro-adhesive clutches have become effective tools for variable stiffness functions in many robotic systems due to their light weight, high speed and strong brake force. In this paper, we present a novel, tubular design of an electro-adhesive clutch. Ou ...
