Abstract: Bimanual teleoperation tasks are highly demanding for human operators, requiring the simultaneous control of two robotic arms while managing complex coordination and cognitive load. Current approaches to this challenge often rely on rigid control schemes or task-specific automations that do not adapt well to dynamic environments or varied operator needs. This … [Read more...] about Large-Language-Model-Aided Assistive Robot for Single-Operator Bimanual Teleoperation: Introduction and Validation of a Flexible Assistance System

A Whole-Body Integrated AVATAR System: Implementation of Telepresence With Intuitive Control and Immersive Feedback
This paper proposes an intuitive and immersive whole-body teleoperation system with motion-based control and multi-modal feedback. The system consists of an anthropomorphic teleoperated robot and a haptic interface platform. The teleoperated robot has dual arms with dexterous hands, a head with a neck, a waist, giving it a human-like appearance and a large range of motion … [Read more...] about A Whole-Body Integrated AVATAR System: Implementation of Telepresence With Intuitive Control and Immersive Feedback
Touching the Sound: Audible Features Enable Haptics for Robot Control
Haptic control interfaces can significantly improve the quality of teleoperation in robotic and mechatronic systems. However, the required force feedback introduces new challenges when highly constrained environments and systems hinder the use of conventional force sensors. In this article, we propose a haptic control method that provides feedback to the operator when force … [Read more...] about Touching the Sound: Audible Features Enable Haptics for Robot Control
