Three-Channel Control Architecture For Multilateral Teleoperation Under Time Delay, Uğur Tümerdem Jan 2019

Three-Channel Control Architecture For Multilateral Teleoperation Under Time Delay, Uğur Tümerdem

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multilateral teleoperation is an extension of bilateral/haptic teleoperation framework to multiple operators/robots and finds applications in haptic training. As in bilateral teleoperation, time delay is an important problem, and stability and transparency, which quantifies the performance of the teleoperation system, are critical in the design of multilateral control systems. This paper proposes a novel three-channel-based multilateral control architecture with damping injection to guarantee delay-independent L2 stability and high transparency in multilateral teleoperation systems. The theoretical and computational analyses are verified with experiment results.


Contribution Of Artificial Proprioception On A Dynamic Finger Flexion Task, Mehdi Hojatmadani, Evren Samur Jan 2019

Contribution Of Artificial Proprioception On A Dynamic Finger Flexion Task, Mehdi Hojatmadani, Evren Samur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

There has been a considerable effort to provide sensory feedback for myoelectric prostheses. Among the solutions provided in the literature, sensory substitution is an easy and cost-effective way to provide feedback through different sensory modalities at different locations on the body. In this study, we evaluate the effect of sensory substitution of force and position feedback on a two-degree-of-freedom dynamic finger flexion task. For this purpose, a new methodology and an experimental setup are developed. The experimental methodology is based on the "strength-dexterity test", working on the principle of buckling of compression springs. The experimental setup comprises a haptic interface, …
