This paper presents a novel teleoperation system with force feedback, utilizing consumer-grade HTC Vive Trackers 2.0. The system integrates a custom-built controller, a UR3 robotic arm, and a Robotiq …
Teleoperating precise bimanual manipulations in cluttered environments is challenging for operators, who often struggle with limited spatial perception and difficulty estimating distances between targ…
We present a novel system architecture for a distributed wireless, self-calibrating ultrasound microphone network for synchronized in-air acoustic sensing. Once deployed the embedded nodes determine t…
The paper focuses on an immersive teleoperation system that enhances operator's ability to actively perceive the robot's surroundings. A consumer-grade HTC Vive VR system was used to synchronize the o…
The HTC VIVE Ultimate Tracker, utilizing inside-out tracking with internal stereo cameras providing 6 DoF tracking without external cameras, offers a cost-efficient and straightforward setup for motio…
We present a novel seated feet controller for handling 3-DoF aimed to control locomotion for telepresence robotics and virtual reality environments. Tilting the feet on two axes yields in forward, bac…
This work-in-progress paper discusses the use of student-centered pedagogy to teach clinical oculomotor examination via Virtual Reality (VR). Traditional methods, such as PowerPoint slides and lab act…
Assembly processes involving humans and robots are challenging scenarios because the individual activities and access to shared workspace have to be coordinated. Fixed robot programs leave no room to …
Robotic surgery has reached a high level of maturity and has become an integral part of standard surgical care. However, existing surgeon consoles are bulky, take up valuable space in the operating ro…
Prior works in human-swarm interaction (HSI) have sought to guide swarm behavior towards established objectives, but may be unable to handle specific scenarios that require finer human supervision, va…
Efficient and effective on-line detection and correction of bad-pixels can improve yield and increase the expected lifetime of image sensors. This paper presents a comprehensive Deep Learning (DL) bas…
In order to advance underwater computer vision and robotics from lab environments and clear water scenarios to the deep dark ocean or murky coastal waters, representative benchmarks and realistic data…
This paper introduces a dataset for training and evaluating methods for 6D pose estimation of hand-held tools in task demonstrations captured by a standard RGB camera. Despite the significant progress…
Systems for estimating the six-degrees-of-freedom human body pose have been improving for over two decades. Technologies such as motion capture cameras, advanced gaming peripherals and more recently b…
Image enhancement helps to generate balanced lighting distributions over faces. Our goal is to get an illuminance-balanced enhanced face image from a single view. Traditionally, image enhancement meth…
We propose SlingDrone, a novel Mixed Reality interaction paradigm that utilizes a micro-quadrotor as both pointing controller and interactive robot with a slingshot motion type. The drone attempts to …
TouchVR is a novel wearable haptic interface which can deliver multimodal tactile stimuli on the palm by DeltaTouch haptic display and vibrotactile feedback on the fingertips by vibration motors for t…
Bit-depth is the number of bits for each color channel of a pixel in an image. Although many modern displays support unprecedented higher bit-depth to show more realistic and natural colors with a hig…
