Human-robot colaboration: first tests with HOAP3
05/08/10 12:28 Filed in: Videos
Some results obtained in a human-robot colaboration experiment. All tasks were executed using the cooperative dual task-space framework proposed by Bruno Adorno and Philippe Fraisse. The setup included a HOAP3 humanoid robot, an easyTrack 500 optical tracking system, and real-time visualization.
Tremor compensation using FES: co-contraction to increase joint stability

In the context of motion compensation systems for applications on cardiac robotic-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), vision-based techniques have a great potential. In this video, an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used to estimate a model for heart 3D motion in order to support the vision algorithm.
