We describe an empirical study that sought general guidelines for task allocation strategies in multi-robot systems. We identify four distinct task allocation strategies, and demo...
A new haptic feedback mechanism with five active degrees of freedom (dof), part of a training simulator for urological operations, is presented. The mechanism consists of a 2-dof 5...
