Usability study of a novel triple-arm mixed-reality robot teleoperation system (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The usability of a novel triple-arm mixed-reality robot teleoperation system is investigated. The system is developed to provide a sense of remote presence for the operator. Different types of interfaces and camera setups have been proposed previousl... Read More about Usability study of a novel triple-arm mixed-reality robot teleoperation system.

Mechanical characterization of high volume fraction Al7075-Al2O3 composite fabricated by semisolid powder processing (2023)
Journal Article

The mechanical properties and physical characteristics of aluminum alloy composites can be significantly improved by adding reinforcing phases. However, the high loading of the reinforcement phase in Al7075-Al2O3 composites has not been thoroughly st...
