Remotely operated robotic devices are becoming increasingly important in fields such as medicine, space and field research. However, their widespread application is hampered by distance between the robot and its operator which results in communication delays.
Researchers at Stanford have developed technology to bring new dimensions to wearable haptic devices and better reflect the breadth of haptic interactions in our lives.
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a dynamically adaptive workspace mapping control method that adjusts remote task resolution to keep haptic-robot (in real-world applications) or haptic-avatar (in virtual environment) interactions within the device works
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a compact high-fidelity haptic teleoperation system which shows accurate and isotropic behavior in translation and rotation.
Stanford researchers at the Okamura Lab have prototyped a new retraction device that can reverse growth of a soft growing robot without undesired buckling.
Stanford researchers at the Khatib Lab in collaboration with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology's Red Sea Research Center and Meka Robotics, have created Ocean One, a bi-manual force-controlled humanoid robot that enables immediate and intuitive haptic i
Stanford researchers have developed a crowdsourced framework for real-time robotic teleoperation with six degrees of freedom. Through smartphone controllers, RoboTurk enables large human workforces to remotely operate the robots without the need for prior training.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have developed a biomimetic soft electronic skin (e-skin) with multiple levels of biologically inspired patterning that can detect the direction of applied forces.
Researchers in Prof. Allison Okamura's laboratory have patented a small, simple tactile display that can automatically control both its surface geometry and its mechanical properties.
Stanford researchers have patented the "Wolverine," a mobile, wearable haptic device designed for simulating the grasping of rigid objects in virtual reality.
Stanford researchers in the CamLab have patented a robust, task-space closed-loop controller for continuum manipulators that can be used in constrained environments and does not rely on a model.
Stanford researchers have developed a new manufacturing method for creating inexpensive, directional dry adhesive materials, suitable for applications such as climbing robots, human climbing and manufacturing applications.
