The HERMES humanoid robot system is designed for studying whole-body human-in-the-loop control with balance feedback. Inspired by the innate physical control capabilities of humans as well as the capacity for creative learning, we explore the use of the full-body of the human operator as the controller for a humanoid robot. The state of balance of the robot is displayed as sensory feedback to the...
This paper presents the concept, design, and experimental implementation of a Balance Feedback Interface (BFI) for human-in-the-loop control of a humanoid robot. The purpose of the BFI is to create a new media to aid the task of bilateral feedback during full-body teleoperation of humanoid robots. It explores human's primitive motor skills to enhance the dynamic behavior of the slave platform to a...
In this paper we present a new type of spherical underwater robot that is completely smooth and uses jets to propel and maneuver. This robot is specifically designed for the direct visual inspection of water-filled infrastructure such as the inside of nuclear powerplants. The unique propulsion architecture consists of a single bidirectional centrifugal pump combined with two fluidic valves. The pump...
