In the first part, this article presents an overview of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC)
methodologies developed for space manipulators to perform in-orbit robotic missions …

We present the collected findings of a user-centred approach for developing a tele-operated
robot for remote echocardiography examinations. During the three-year development of the …

This letter presents a novel wearable haptic controller (WHC) system suitable for
teleoperation of demolition machines and robotic platforms. With regard to existing operator …

In this paper we present the modelling and analysis of a novel parallel manipulator for
research in laparoscopic robotic surgery. The robot's configuration is based on the parallel …

This article presents a robot for remote noninvasive medical examination. In particular, this
robot allows a doctor to carry out an interview, an observation, an auscultation and an …

Ultrasonography (USG) is a common medical examination that can be performed remotely
and that highly benefits from robotics. In this paper, we evaluate a novel interface for a …

This paper discusses the issue of designing the logical architecture of a control system
intended for a complex medical robot. The considered robot is designed for tele-examination …

Robotic surgery has been steadily growing, with many new platforms entering the field.
Research platforms, however, are limited in number, require a sizable capital expenditure or …

Haptic interaction often requires stabilizing controllers for safety. The Time-Domain Passivity
Approach guarantees passivity (then stability) by observing and dissipating energy …

The article presents a bilateral teleoperation architecture with wave variables that has been
applied in a new robotic system for remote medical examination. First we discuss specificity …
