Pattern-based pose estimation for Tactile Internet

The Tactile Internet (TI) is a new paradigm for remote interactions, enabling the transmission of touch and physical sensations. One of the major challenges in achieving seamless remote interactions is latency. To circumvent strict latency requirements, the paper briefly introduces the approach of a Model Mediated Teleoperation scheme utilizing...

Estimation of the physical properties of an object through interaction

Creating a local model of a remote environment is a way to reduce latency in tactile internet. This local model contains properties that are estimated by a nonintrusive estimation method. To prevent the model from deviating increasingly from reality, the estimates should be updated once an interaction begins. This research paper investigates how...

Tracking Physics: A Virtual Platform for 3D Object Tracking in Tactile Internet Applications

Tactile Internet (TI) is a pioneering network paradigm that aims to communicate haptic feedback with ultra-low latency. It will enable new ways for us to interact with remote environments, such as transferring skills over the network and controlling remote objects. One crucial component of this framework is the ability to track the position and...

Changing the Degrees of Freedom for a particle filter tracking algorithm based on prior knowledge

The Tactile Internet (TI) aims to expand seamless interaction over the Internet by providing a new form of interaction through touch by providing haptic feedback. To realize this, the TI is limited by a round-trip latency of 1-10 ms, meaning that the TI is limited by a physical distance of 1500 km. A workaround to this requirement is the...

Tessellation of NURBS surfaces for use in tactile physics simulations

Tactile Internet (TI) is a networking paradigm with the goal of allowing for transfer of skill by transmitting haptic feedback. Accurate haptic feedback requires Ultra Low Latency (ULL), which severely limits the distance over which TI can be used. To address the ULL requirement, a local model can be used to generate haptics. For accurate haptic...

Estimating the mass of an object from its point cloud for Tactile Internet

A problem faced by Tactile Internet (TI) is the distance limitation. A possible solution is to create a simulation of the remote environment, such that the delay experienced by a human operator is reduced. However, to obtain a model of the remote environment, before the user interacts with it, we need to be able to estimate the physical...

Acquiring material properties of objects for tactile simulation through point cloud scans

Tactile internet enables communication in a new layer of immersion, touch. It has the potential to transform the landscape of digital communication. However, the achievable scale of tactile internet is severely limited by its 1 ms round-trip latency. We propose a workaround for the latency through tactile simulation, which can bypass the...

3D Point Cloud Completion from 2.5D Data

The tactile internet can be described as the next step of the internet. It can empower people, adding physical interactions to what normally is just an audiovisual experience.<br/>It however does need ultra-low latency. <br/>A solution to having delays can be found in environment simulation.<br/>This paper describes a way to find the correct...

Simulating Disturbances in Tactile Internet to Study Desynchronization

As technology evolves, transmission speeds become faster. Tactile Internet requires ultra-low-latency (ULL) communications to further immerse humans in a remote environment by transmitting movement and force feedback, allowing them to interact with that environment in real-time. However, no transmission speed can be fast enough to support the "1...
