Impactful Robots: Evaluating Visual and Audio Warnings to Help Users Brace for Impact in Human Robot Interaction
Nathaniel G. Luttmer, Takara E. Truong, Alicia M. Boynton +3
Wearable robotic devices have potential to assist and protect their users. Toward design of a Smart Helmet, this article examines the effectiveness of audio and visual warnings to…
The Effect of Sideslip on Jackknife Limits During Low Speed Trailer Operation
Zhe Leng, Mark A. Minor
Jackknifing refers to the serious situation where a vehicle-trailer system enters a jackknife state and the vehicle and trailer eventually collide if trailer operation is not corre…
Estimation of Soft Robotic Bladder Compression for Smart Helmets using IR Range Finding and Hall Effect Magnetic Sensing
Colin Pollard, Jonathan Aston, Mark A. Minor
This research focuses on soft robotic bladders that are used to monitor and control the interaction between a user's head and the shell of a Smart Helmet. Compression of these blad…
Identification and Control of a Soft-Robotic Bladder Towards Impedance-Style Haptic Terrain Display
Nathan Baum, Mark A. Minor
This paper evaluates the capabilities of a soft robotic pneumatic actuator derived from the terrain display haptic device, "The Smart Shoe." The bladder design of the Smart Shoe is…
Integrating Vehicle Slip and Yaw in Overarching Multi-Tiered Automated Vehicle Steering Control to Balance Path Following Accuracy, Gracefulness, and Safety
Ming Xin, Mark A. Minor
Balancing path following accuracy and error convergence with graceful motion in steering control is challenging due to the competing nature of these requirements, especially across…
Cooperative Distributed Robust Control of Modular Mobile Robots with Bounded Curvature and Velocity
Xiaorui Zhu, Youngshik Kim, Mark A. Minor
A novel motion control system for Compliant Framed wheeled Modular Mobile Robots (CFMMR) is studied in this paper. This type of wheeled mobile robot uses rigid axles coupled by com…
