    Comparison of force and tactile feedback for grasp force control in telemanipulation

    Author(s): Wiker, Steven F.; Duffie, Neil A.; Yen, Thomas Y.; Gale, Karen L.
    Abstract: The comparative efficacy of using direct force feedback or a simple vibrotactile display to convey changes in the intensity of remote grasp force relayed from a robotic end effector is examined. The findings show that a ...

    Impact of inertia, friction, and backlash upon force control in telemanipulation

    Author(s): Duffie, Neil A.; Zik, John J.; Wiker, Steven F.; Gale, Karen L.
    Abstract: The mechanical behavior of master controllers of telemanipulators has been a concern of both designers and implementors of telerobotic systems. In general, the literature recommends that telemanipulator systems be ...

    Teleoperator comfort and psychometric stability: Criteria for limiting master-controller forces of operation and feedback during telemanipulation

    Author(s): Wiker, Steven F.; Hershkowitz, Elaine; Zik, John
    Abstract: The following question is addressed: How much force should operators exert, or experience, when operating a telemanipulator master-controller for sustained periods without encountering significant fatigue and discomfort, and ...

    Test bed experiments for various telerobotic system characteristics and configurations

    Author(s): Duffie, Neil A.; Wiker, Steven F.; Zik, John J.
    Abstract: Dexterous manipulation and grasping in telerobotic systems depends on the integration of high-performance sensors, displays, actuators and controls into systems in which careful consideration has been given to human ...

    Grasp force control in telemanipulation

    Author(s): Wiker, Steven F.; Duffie, Neil A.
    Abstract: This paper presents two experiments which focus upon the issue of grasp force control in telemanipulation. The first experiment examines the ability to control and stabilize master-controller grasp force during a 30-s ...

    Importance of numerosity and distribution of articulations within the digits, wrists, and arms of telemanipulators confronted with dextrous assembly tasks

    Author(s): Wiker, Steven F.; Duffie, Nell; Yen, Thomas
    Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of successive exclusion of degrees-of-freedom within digits (thumb and index finger) and wrist when performing tasks demanding varying degrees of end effector kinematic ...
