Haptic teleoperation goes wireless: Evaluation and benchmarking of a high-performance low-power wireless control technology (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Communication delays and packet losses are commonly investigated issues in the area of robotic teleoperation. This paper investigates application of a novel low-power wireless control technology (GALLOP) in a haptic teleoperation scenario developed t...

The PrHand: Functional assessment of an underactuated soft-robotic prosthetic hand (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Functional tests aim to compare the functionality of a prosthesis with a human hand. The main objective of this work is to present and evaluate an affordable prosthesis (PrHand) built with soft robotic technologies and novel joints based on compliant...

The AGoRA V2 unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton: Mechatronic integration and biomechanical assessment (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

People who suffer from stroke have a higher difficulty performing gait activity, affecting their quality of life. New technologies have been developed to assist and rehabilitate the affected limbs. This paper presents the AGoRA V2 unilateral lower-li... Read More about The AGoRA V2 unilateral lower-limb exoskeleton: Mechatronic integration and biomechanical assessment.

An explorative study on the antimicrobial effects and mechanical properties of 3D printed PLA and TPU surfaces loaded with Ag and Cu against nosocomial and foodborne pathogens (2022)
Journal Article

Antimicrobial 3D printed surfaces made of PLA and TPU polymers loaded with copper (Cu), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) were developed via fused deposition modeling (FDM). The potential antimicrobial effect of the 3D printed surfaces against Esch...

“It’s important to think of Pepper as a teaching aid or resource external to the classroom”: A social robot in a school for autistic children (2022)
Journal Article

For a period of 3 weeks in June 2021, we embedded a social robot (Softbank Pepper) in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) school for autistic children. The robot’s behaviours and integration into the school were co-designed with the children and teache...

Ontology-based situation awareness for air and space traffic management (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The rapid technological and business advances of point-to-point space transport prompt the need for an integrated Air Traffic Management (ATM) and Space Traffic Management (STM) framework. The introduction of a more flexible airspace and vehicle/traj... Read More about Ontology-based situation awareness for air and space traffic management.

Impact of resolution, colour, and motion on object identification in digital twins from robot sensor data (2022)
Journal Article

This paper makes a contribution to research on digital twins that are generated from robot sensor data. We present the results of an online user study in which 240 participants were tasked to identify real-world objects from robot point cloud data. I...

A novel robot skill learning framework based on bilateral teleoperation (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, a bilateral teleoperation-based robot skill learning framework is developed to transfer multi-step and contact manipulation skills from humans to robots. Robot skill acquisition via bilateral teleoperation provides a solution for human... Read More about A novel robot skill learning framework based on bilateral teleoperation.

Control of a shunt active power filter by the synchronous referential method connected with a photovoltaic solar energy (2022)
Journal Article

This paper presents a depollution technique for low voltage electrical networks. This technique is based on the control of the shunt active power filter (SAPF) at two levels by the instantaneous power method (Sychronous Reference Frame-SRF) which has...

Feeling the pressure: The influence of vibrotactile patterns on feedback perception (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Tactile feedback is necessary for closing the sen-sorimotor loop in prosthetic and tele-operable control, which would allow for more precise manipulation and increased acceptance of use of such devices. Pressure stimuli are commonly presented to user... Read More about Feeling the pressure: The influence of vibrotactile patterns on feedback perception.
