Feeling the pressure: The influence of vibrotactile patterns on feedback perception (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, A., Ward-Cherrier, B., Etoundi, A., & Pearson, M. J. (2022). Feeling the pressure: The influence of vibrotactile patterns on feedback perception. In 2022 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (634-640). https://doi.org/10.1109/IROS47612.2022.9981594

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.

Integrating spiking neural networks and deep learning algorithms on the neurorobotics platform (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Stentiford, R., Knowles, T. C., Feldoto, B., Ergene, D., Morin, F. O., & Pearson, M. J. (2022, July). Integrating spiking neural networks and deep learning algorithms on the neurorobotics platform. Paper presented at Living Machines 2022, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, United States

We present a neurorobotic model that can associate self motion (odometry) with vision to correct for drift in a spiking neural network model of head direction based closely on known rodent neurophys-iology. We use a deep predictive coding network to... Read More about Integrating spiking neural networks and deep learning algorithms on the neurorobotics platform.

A spiking neural network model of rodent head direction calibrated with landmark free learning (2022)
Journal Article
Stentiford, R., Knowles, T. C., & Pearson, M. J. (2022). A spiking neural network model of rodent head direction calibrated with landmark free learning. Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 16, -. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnbot.2022.867019

Maintaining a stable estimate of head direction requires both self-motion (idiothetic) information and environmental (allothetic) anchoring. In unfamiliar or dark environments idiothetic drive can maintain a rough estimate of heading but is subject t...

Evaluating multi-channel vibrational feedback arrays in a digit discrimination task (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, A., Ward-Cherrier, B., Etoundi, A., & Pearson, M. J. (2022). Evaluating multi-channel vibrational feedback arrays in a digit discrimination task. In 2022 International Symposium on Electrical, Electronics and Information Engineering (ISEEIE) (202-207). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISEEIE55684.2022.00042

In recent years manipulators and grippers have become more advanced., allowing for more nuanced interactions with the environment. In order to take advantage of the benefits that this can provide in teleoperation., methods for providing closed-loop t...
