View Types and Visual Communication Cues for Remote Collaboration

Tangible Interfaces for Remote Communication and Collaboration

This thesis presents inTouch, a new device enabling long distance communication through touch. inTouch is based on a concept called Synchronized Distributed Physical Objects, which employs telemanipulation technology to create the illusion that distant users are interacting with a shared physical object. I discuss the design and prototype implementation of inTouch, along with control strategies...

A Telerobotic System for Remote Surgical Collaboration with Communication Delays

During the last years, a new field has attracted the interest of robotic researchers. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, have grown as a very suitable domain for robotic systems. In this field, one of the easiest application for robotics is the movement of the endoscopic camera. That kind of robots [7][6] aims to move the camera from outside the patient’s abdomen to get the ima...
