Hand-worn Haptic Interface for Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano, Matteo Macchini

Drone teleoperation is usually accomplished using remote radio controllers, devices that can be hard to master for inexperienced users. Moreover, the limited amount of information fed back to the user about the robot's state, often limited to vision, can r ...

Miniature Mobile Systems for Inspection of Ferromagnetic Structures

Patrick Schoeneich

Power plants require periodical inspections to control their state. To ensure a safe operation, parts that could fail before the next inspection are repaired or replaced, since a forced outage due to a failure can cost up to millions of dollars per day. No ...

Aseba Meets D-Bus: From the Depths of a Low-Level Event-

Francesco Mondada, Stéphane Magnenat

The robotics research community has clearly acknowledged the need of open and standard software stacks to promote reuse of code and developments. However, to date no particular project has prevailed. We suggest that one possible reason for this is that mos ...

Dynamic Control of a Robotic Swarm using a Service-Oriented Architecture

Vlad Trifa

The development, deployment, and control of groups of robots is a tedious process even for experienced roboticists. Particularly in heterogeneous systems a high granularity of control and visibility is difficult to achieve. The lack of standardized interfa ...

The “Caddie Paradigm”: a free-Locomotion Interface for Teleoperation

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

This paper presents the “caddie paradigm” a new interface for teleoperation of mobile robots. We present a prototype based on the use of a treadmill as a free-locomotion interface. The “caddie paradigm” allows for controlling a real robot by “pushing” its ...

Mobile Tele-echography: User Interface Design

Nikolaos Thomos

Ultrasound imaging allows the evaluation of the degree of emergency of a patient. However, in several occasions a well trained sonographer is unavailable to perform such echography. To cope with this issue, the OTELO project aims to develop a fully integra ...
