Self-Reconfigurable Soft-Rigid Mobile Agent with Variable Stiffness and Adaptive Morphology
Luiza Labazanova, Shuang Peng, Liuming Qiu +3
In this paper, we propose a novel design of a hybrid mobile robot with controllable stiffness and deformable shape. Compared to conventional mobile agents, our system can switch be…
DroneStick: Flying Joystick as a Novel Type of Interface
Evgeny Tsykunov, Aleksey Fedoseev, Ekaterina Dorzhieva +5
DroneStick is a novel hands-free method for smooth interaction between a human and a robotic system via one of its agents, without training and any additional handheld or wearable…
Can a Tesla Turbine be Utilised as a Non-Magnetic Actuator for MRI-Guided Robotic Interventions?
David Navarro-Alarcon, Luiza Labazanova, Man Kiu Chow +2
This paper introduces a new type of nonmagnetic actuator for MRI interventions. Ultrasonic and piezoelectric motors are one the most commonly used actuators in MRI applications. Ho…
A Novel Approach to Model the Kinematics of Human Fingers Based on an Elliptic Multi-Joint Configuration
Zeyu Wu, Luiza Labazanova, Peng Zhou +1
In this paper, we present a novel kinematic model of the human phalanges based on the elliptical motion of their joints. The presence of the soft elastic tissues and the general an…
Bio-Inspired Design of Artificial Striated Muscles Composed of Sarcomere-Like Contraction Units (preprint)
Luiza Labazanova, Zeyu Wu, Zhengping Gu +1
Biological muscles have always attracted robotics researchers due to their efficient capabilities in compliance, force generation, and mechanical work. Many groups are working on t…
TeslaMirror: Multistimulus Encounter-Type Haptic Display for Shape and Texture Rendering in VR
Aleksey Fedoseev, Akerke Tleugazy, Luiza Labazanova +1
This paper proposes a novel concept of a hybrid tactile display with multistimulus feedback, allowing the real-time experience of the position, shape, and texture of the virtual ob…
SwarmCloak: Landing of Two Micro-Quadrotors on Human Hands Using Wearable Tactile Interface Driven by Light Intensity
Evgeny Tsykunov, Ruslan Agishev, Roman Ibrahimov +4
For the human operator, it is often easier and faster to catch a small size quadrotor right in the midair instead of landing it on a surface. However, interaction strategies for su…
SwarmCloak: Landing of a Swarm of Nano-Quadrotors on Human Arms
Evgeny Tsykunov, Ruslan Agishev, Roman Ibrahimov +4
We propose a novel system SwarmCloak for landing of a fleet of four flying robots on the human arms using light-sensitive landing pads with vibrotactile feedback. We developed two…
SwarmTouch: Tactile Interaction of Human with Impedance Controlled Swarm of Nano-Quadrotors
Evgeny Tsykunov, Luiza Labazanova, Akerke Tleugazy +1
We propose a novel interaction strategy for a human-swarm communication when a human operator guides a formation of quadrotors with impedance control and receives vibrotactile feed…
SwarmTouch: Guiding a Swarm of Micro-Quadrotors with Impedance Control using a Wearable Tactile Interface
Evgeny Tsykunov, Ruslan Agishev, Roman Ibrahimov +3
To achieve a smooth and safe guiding of a drone formation by a human operator, we propose a novel interaction strategy for a human-swarm communication which combines impedance cont…
