We present a user-friendly interface to teleoperate a soft robot manipulator in a complex environment. Key components of the system include a manipulator with a grasping end-effector that grows via tip eversion, gesture-based control, and…
Validating Augmented Reality (AR) tracking and interaction models requires precise, repeatable ground-truth motion. However, human users cannot reliably perform consistent motion due to biomechanical variability. Robotic manipulators are…
This paper addresses the challenge of teleoperating continuum instruments for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). We develop and adopt a novel task-priority-based kinematic formulation to quantitatively investigate teleoperation commands for…
A drawing robot avatar is a robotic system that allows for telepresence-based drawing, enabling users to remotely control a robotic arm and create drawings in real-time from a remote location. The proposed control framework aims to improve…
To train generalist robot policies, machine learning methods often require a substantial amount of expert human teleoperation data. An ideal robot for humans collecting data is one that closely mimics them: bimanual arms and dexterous…
A remote collaboration setup allows an expert to instruct a remotely located novice user to help them with a task. Advanced solutions exist in the field of remote guidance and telemanipulation, however, we lack a device that combines these…
Telerobotic surgery often relies on a fixed motion scaling factor (MSF) to map the surgeon's hand motions to robotic instruments, but this introduces a trade-off between precision and efficiency: small MSF enables delicate manipulation but…
In adult laparoscopy, robot-aided surgery is a reality in thousands of operating rooms worldwide, owing to the increased dexterity provided by the robotic tools. Many robots and robot control techniques have been developed to aid in more…
This paper explores the possibility of improving bilateral robot manipulation task performance through optimizing the robot morphology and configuration of the system through motion. To optimize the design for different scenarios, we select…
Shared autonomy allows for combining the global planning capabilities of a human operator with the strengths of a robot such as repeatability and accurate control. In a real-time teleoperation setting, one possibility for shared autonomy is…
Robotic teleoperation is a key technology for a wide variety of applications. It allows sending robots instead of humans in remote, possibly dangerous locations while still using the human brain with its enormous knowledge and creativity,…
Teleoperating humanoid robots in a whole-body manner marks a fundamental step toward developing general-purpose robotic intelligence, with human motion providing an ideal interface for controlling all degrees of freedom. Yet, most current…
Sharing autonomy between robots and human operators could facilitate data collection of robotic task demonstrations to continuously improve learned models. Yet, the means to communicate intent and reason about the future are disparate…
Most successes in robotic manipulation have been restricted to single-arm robots, which limits the range of solvable tasks to pick-and-place, insertion, and objects rearrangement. In contrast, dual and multi arm robot platforms unlock a…
Optical tweezers (OT) provide piconewton-scale manipulation for delicate biomedical tasks, where visuo-haptic feedback can improve operator awareness by conveying interaction-force cues and trap-stability information. However, visuo-haptic…
Employing a teleoperation system for gathering demonstrations offers the potential for more efficient learning of robot manipulation. However, teleoperating a robot arm equipped with a dexterous hand or gripper, via a teleoperation system…
Teleoperation of humanoid robots has long been a challenging domain, necessitating advances in both hardware and software to achieve seamless and intuitive control. This paper presents an integrated solution based on several elements:…
Telerobotics enables humans to overcome spatial constraints and physically interact with the environment in remote locations. However, the sensory feedback provided by the system to the user is often purely visual, limiting the user's…
Stable, low-latency whole-body teleoperation of humanoid robots is an open research challenge, complicated by kinematic mismatches between human and robot morphologies, accumulated inertial sensor noise, non-trivial control latency, and…
We seek to augment human manipulation by enabling humans to control two robotic arms in addition to their natural arms using their feet. Thereby, the hands are free to perform tasks of high dexterity, while the feet-controlled arms perform…
