Self-Adapting Variable Impedance Actuator Control for Precision and Dynamic Tasks
Manuel Aiple, Andre Schiele, Frans C. T. van der Helm
Variable impedance actuators (VIAs) as tool devices for teleoperation could extend the range of tasks that humans can perform through a teleoperated robot by mimicking the change o…
A Dynamic Robotic Actuator with Variable Physical Stiffness and Damping
Manuel Aiple, Wouter Gregoor, Andre Schiele
This study is part of research aiming at increasing the range of dynamic tasks for teleoperated field robotics in order to allow operators to use the full range of human motions wi…
Increasing Impact by Mechanical Resonance for Teleoperated Hammering
Manuel Aiple, Jan Smisek, Andre Schiele
Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are interesting for usage in harsh environments as they are more robust than rigid actuators. This paper shows how SEAs can be used in teleoperation…
Towards Teleoperation with Human-like Dynamics: Human Use of Elastic Tools
Manuel Aiple, André Schiele
Variable stiffness actuators undergo lower peak force in contacts compared to their rigid counterparts, and are thus safer for human-robot interaction. Furthermore, they can store…
Pushing the limits of the CyberGrasp for haptic rendering
Manuel Aiple, André Schiele
The CyberGrasp is a well known dataglove-exoskeleton device combination that allows to render haptic feedback to the human fingers. Its design, however, restricts its usability for…
