Seeing the hand while reaching speeds up on-line responses to a sudden change in target position (2009)
Journal Article
Goal-directed movements are executed under the permanent supervision of the central nervous system, which continuously processes sensory afferents and triggers on-line corrections if movement accuracy seems to be compromised. For arm reaching movemen... Read More about Seeing the hand while reaching speeds up on-line responses to a sudden change in target position.

A new admittance-type haptic interface for bimanual manipulations (2008)
Journal Article
The concept of a new mobile haptic interface for bimanual manipulations in 6 DOFs is presented. The design of this mobile haptic interface is based on a modular system consisting of two components: two admittance-type haptic interfaces and a mobile p...

The human role in telerobotics (2007)
Journal Article
This chapter introduces the main topics of a telerobotic system. It describes the architecture of such a system from a general point of view and emphasizes the interaction between a human operator and a robot that performs the task in the remote envi...

Advanced telerobotics: Dual-handed and mobile remote manipulation (2007)
Journal Article
This work presents an advanced dual-handed, mobile telerobotic system developed at the High-Fidelity Telepresence and Teleaction Research Centre, Munich, Germany. To the authors' best knowledge, it is the first attempt to integrate mobile and multi-r... Read More about Advanced telerobotics: Dual-handed and mobile remote manipulation.
Development of a high-performance haptic telemanipulation system with dissimilar kinematics (2006)
Journal Article
This work addresses selected practical issues regarding the development of a telerobotic system for 6-d.o.f. tasks. The system consists of a hyper-redundant 10-d.o.f. haptic input device ViSHaRD10, a redundant 7-d.o.f. manipulator and a stereo vision...

High fidelity telepresence systems: Design, control, and evaluation (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
An overview of subjectively selected recent topics and research trends in the area of modern telepresence and teleaction is given. Multi-modal telepresence systems are to enable human operators to become present and active in remote or inaccessible e...

Haptic telemanipulation in extensive remote environments (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
We present a telepresence system with visual and haptic feedback for a telemanipulation task in full six degrees-of-freedom. The employed teleoperator consists of an anthropomorphic manipulator arm mounted on a mobile base to allow task execution in...

Haptic telemanipulation with dissimilar kinematics (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This work addresses some practical issues regarding development of a telerobotic system for 6 degrees of freedom (DoF) tasks. The system consists of a hyper redundant haptic input device ViSHaRD10, a redundant 7DoF manipulator and a stereo vision sys... Read More about Haptic telemanipulation with dissimilar kinematics.
Brood sorting by ants: Two phases and differential diffusion (2004)
Journal Article
Leptothorax ant colonies sort their brood in concentric annuli with the smallest items in the middle and the largest on the periphery. Such brood sorting is a prime example of collective structure formation by social insects. Its underlying mechanism... Read More about Brood sorting by ants: Two phases and differential diffusion.
