HATPIC: An Open-Source Single Axis Haptic Joystick for Robotic Development
Julien Mellet, Fabio Ruggiero, Vincenzo Lippiello
Humans process significantly more information through the sense of touch than through vision. Consequently, haptics for telemanipulation is poised to become essential in the coming…
Assisted Physical Interaction: Autonomous Aerial Robots with Neural Network Detection, Navigation, and Safety Layers
Andrea Berra, Viswa Narayanan Sankaranarayanan, Achilleas Santi Seisa +10
The paper introduces a novel framework for safe and autonomous aerial physical interaction in industrial settings. It comprises two main components: a neural network-based target d…
Design of a Flexible Robot Arm for Safe Aerial Physical Interaction
Julien Mellet, Andrea Berra, Achilleas Santi Seisa +7
This paper introduces a novel compliant mechanism combining lightweight and energy dissipation for aerial physical interaction. Weighting 400~g at take-off, the mechanism is actuat…
Evaluation of Human-Robot Interfaces based on 2D/3D Visual and Haptic Feedback for Aerial Manipulation
Julien Mellet, Mike Allenspach, Eugenio Cuniato +3
Most telemanipulation systems for aerial robots provide the operator with only 2D screen visual information. The lack of richer information about the robot's status and environment…
Design and Control of an Omnidirectional Aerial Robot with a Miniaturized Haptic Joystick for Physical Interaction
Julien Mellet, Andrea Berra, Salvatore Marcellini +4
Fully actuated aerial robot proved their superiority for Aerial Physical Interaction (APhI) over the past years. This work proposes a minimal setup for aerial telemanipulation, enh…
