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

Caveats on the First-Generation da Vinci Research Kit: Latent Technical Constraints and Essential Calibrations [Survey]
Telesurgical robotic systems provide a well established form of assistance in the operating theater, with evidence of growing uptake in recent years. Until now, the da Vinci surgical system (Intuitive Surgical Inc, Sunnyvale, California) has been the most widely adopted robot of this kind, with more than 6,700 systems in current clinical use worldwide [1]. To accelerate … [Read more...] about Caveats on the First-Generation da Vinci Research Kit: Latent Technical Constraints and Essential Calibrations [Survey]
