Sharing the control of a robotic system with an autonomous controller allows a human to
reduce his/her cognitive and physical workload during the execution of a task. In recent …

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has greatly expanded human capabilities through
perception, understanding, action, and learning. The future of AI depends on cooperation …

Human-centered environments provide affordances for and require the use of two-handed,
or bimanual, manipulations. Robots designed to function in, and physically interact with …

This article proposes a shared-control teleoperation architecture for robot manipulators
transporting an object on a tray. Differently from many existing studies about remotely …

Contact driven tasks, such as surface conditioning operations (wiping, polishing, sanding,
etc.), are difficult to program in advance to be performed autonomously by a robotic system …

Haptic shared control enables a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the
control of a robotic system using haptic active constraints. It has been used in robotic …

We present a haptic teleoperation system capable of steering flexible needles under
ultrasound imaging toward a target. With respect to similar works, this approach enables …

Shared control, which permits a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the
control of a telerobotic system, can reduce the operator's workload and/or improve …

During suturing tasks performed with minimally invasive surgical robots, configuration
singularities and joint limits often force surgeons to interrupt the task and re-grasp the …

Teleoperation of bimanual robots is being used to carry out complex tasks such as surgeries
in medicine. Despite the technological advances, current interfaces are not natural to the …
