The multifaceted human sense of touch is fundamental to direct manipulation, but technical challenges prevent most teleoperation systems from providing even a single modality of haptic feedback, such as force feedback. This paper postulates that ungrounded grip-force, fingertip-contact-and-pressure, and high-frequency acceleration haptic feedback will improve human performance of a teleoperated pick-and-place...
All over the world, people find joy and amusement in playing hand-clapping games such as “Pat-a-cake” and “Slide.” Thus, as robots enter everyday human spaces and work together with people, we see potential for them to entertain, engage, and assist humans through cooperative clapping games. This paper explores how data recorded from a pair of commonly available inertial measurement units (IMUs) worn...
Human friends and teammates commonly connect through handshakes, high fives, fist bumps, and other forms of hand-to-hand contact. As robots enter everyday human spaces, they will have the opportunity to join in such physical interactions, but few current robots are intended to touch humans. To begin investigating this topic, we sought to discover precisely how robots should move and react in hand-clapping...
