This paper presents design aspects of a forcere ecting, motion-scaling teleoperation system for use in microsurgery experiments. A coarse-macro-micro approach is proposed. Two magnetically levitated wrists | a macro-master and a micro-slave | would share a common base positioned at the surgical site by a coarse-motion transport robot. The discussion includes features of the proposed system, a d...

Presented is an expe im ntal investigation into three issues that enable increased autonomous functionality when using mobile robots. These issues are (1) interfacing a single user with multiple r bots, (2) motion planning for multiple robots, and (3) r bot traject ry generation for target tracking. For this research, the Micro Aut nom us RoverS (MARS) test platform was developed that provides ...

in this project guidance and control of underwater robot, including three engines and propeller attached to it, by fuzzy control has been investigated. fuzzy control is done based on human experience and requiered laws. the robot can also be controlled and guided by the user. this robot may be used in sea or swimming pool environment for finding goal point and locate in desired direction. in ad...

Locomotion capabilities form the basis for accomplishing robotic exploration by a rover on an asteroid. While traditional locomotion gears, such as wheels and tracks, are promising candidates for traversing extraterrestrial terrains, their capabilities lower in such an environment due to its micro-gravity. Here, we propose a new idea of ciliary micro-hopping mechanism for an asteroid exploratio...
