In a world with rapidly growing levels of automation, robotics is playing an increasingly
significant role in every aspect of human endeavour. In particular, many types of mobile …

We present a system that exploits advanced Virtual Reality technologies to create a
surveillance and security system. Surveillance cameras are carried by a mini Blimp which is …

Stand-alone virtual environments (VEs) using haptic devices have proved useful for
assembly/disassembly simulation of mechanical components. Nowadays, collaborative …

Our experience with a Haptic Workstation/spl trade/has shown that this device is
uncomfortable to use during long sessions. The main reason is the uncomfortable posture of …

Visual perception is becoming increasingly important in computer graphics. Research on
human visual perception has led to the development of perception-driven computer graphics …

Despite recent advances in artificial intelligence and autonomous robotics, teleoperation
can provide distinct benefits in applications requiring real-time human judgement and …

Ever since methods of transmitting information have been invented, people have been trying
to transmit information in a way to capture, transmit and reproduce an experience. In the …

We present the results of an evaluation study in the framework of user interfaces for
teleoperation of vehicles. We developed a virtual cockpit with haptic feedback provided by a …

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 …

Improving quality, design and comfort is very important for high technology companies in
order to stay competitive against the other enterprises. A present problem is that the new …
