Increasing the rate-hardness of haptic interaction: Successive force augmentation approach
Conference Proceeding
Singh, H., Jafari, A., & Ryu, J. (2017). Increasing the rate-hardness of haptic interaction: Successive force augmentation approach

There have been numerous approaches that have been proposed to enlarge the impedance range, however it is still a challenging issue to increase the rate-hardness of haptic interaction while maintaining stability. The actual perceived rate-hardness ha... Read More about Increasing the rate-hardness of haptic interaction: Successive force augmentation approach.

Modeling crowd dynamics through coarse-grained data analysis
Journal Article
Motsch, S., Moussaid, M., Guillot, E., Moreau, M., Pettré, J., Theraulaz, G., …Degond, P. (in press). Modeling crowd dynamics through coarse-grained data analysis. Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 15(6), 1271-1290. https://doi.org/10.3934/mbe.2018059

Understanding and predicting the collective behaviour of crowds is essential to improve the efficiency of pedestrian flows in urban areas and minimize the risks of accidents at mass events. We advocate for the development of crowd tra... Read More about Modeling crowd dynamics through coarse-grained data analysis.

Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP), biophysical models
Book Chapter
Griffith, T., Mellor, J., & Tsaneva-Atanasova, K. Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP), biophysical models. In D. Jaeger, & R. Jung (Eds.), Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience. Springer

A biophysical model of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is one which converts time intervals, in a given firing pattern of synaptically coupled pre- and postsynaptic neurons, to modifications of the connecting synapse. This class of STDP mode... Read More about Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP), biophysical models.

An inverse normal transformation solution for the comparison of two samples that contain both paired observations and independent observations
Journal Article
Derrick, B., White, P., & Toher, D. An inverse normal transformation solution for the comparison of two samples that contain both paired observations and independent observations

Inverse normal transformations applied to the partially overlapping samples t-tests by Derrick et.al. (2017) are considered for their Type I error robustness and power. The inverse normal transformation solutions proposed in this paper are shown to m...

Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system
Presentation / Conference
Giannaccini, M. E., Sobhani, M. M., Dogramadzi, S., & Harper, C. J. Investigating real world issues in human robot interaction: Physical and cognitive solutions for a safe robotic system. Paper presented at IEEE ICRA2013

In service robotics, safety is of primary importance. In the EU funded INTRO project1 , safety has been considered from the perspectives of both ‘cognitive’ and physical HumanRobot Interaction (cogHRI and pHRI for brevity). INTRO project researchers...

A new interaction force decomposition maximizing compensating forces under physical work constraints
Report
Schmidts, A. M., Schneider, M., & Peer, A. (2013). A new interaction force decomposition maximizing compensating forces under physical work constraints

Decomposition of interaction forces in manipulation tasks has a long research tradition. Interaction forces are often split into robustness-reflective and accelerating forces. While this decomposition is typically performed for the synthesis of inter... Read More about A new interaction force decomposition maximizing compensating forces under physical work constraints.
