This paper describes the development of haptic paddle laboratory kits and associated National Instruments LabVIEW virtual instrumentation to support the adaptation of laboratory e...
We present a novel bilateral telemanipulation control system called Pseudo-admittance, which is designed to mimic admittance control on systems where the master is an impedance-ty...
In this paper, we present a new portable force feedback device for surgery simulations. Dielectric elastomer spring roll linear actuators for this device were manufactured, and ch...

Biometric systems identify users based on behavioral or physiological characteristics. The advantages of such systems over traditional authentication methods such as passwords are...
A seven degree-of-freedom (DOF) haptic device has been developed with applications towards robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. The device consists of four degrees of force ...
We present a new method for sensing the visual environment using multiple transducers, each mounted on an individual fingertip to sense a single point in the visual surroundings. ...
