Pérez-Del-Pulgar, Carlos J. (author), Smisek, J. (author), Rivas-Blanco, Irene (author), Schiele, A. (author), Muñoz, Victor F. (author)Haptic guidance is a promising method for assisting an operator in solving robotic remote operation tasks. It can be implemented through different methods, such as virtual fixtures, where a predefined trajectory is used to generate guidance forces, or interactive guidance, where sensor measurements are used to assist the operator in real-time...journal article 2019

Aiple, M. (author), Smisek, J. (author), Schiele, A. (author)Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are interesting for usage in harsh environments as they are more robust than rigid actuators. This paper shows how SEAs can be used in teleoperation to increase output velocity in dynamic tasks.<br/>A first experiment is presented that tested human ability to achieve higher hammerhead velocities with a flexible...journal article 2018

Smisek, J. (author), Mugge, W. (author), Smeets, Jeroen B J (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Schiele, A. (author)In haptic shared control systems (HSC), a fixed strength of guidance force equates to a fixed level of control authority, which can be insufficient for complex tasks. An adaptable control authority based on operator input can allow the HSC system to better assist the operator under varied conditions. In this paper, we experimentally...journal article 2018

Aiple, M. (author), Schiele, A. (author)Variable stiffness actuators undergo lower peak force in contacts compared to their rigid counterparts, and are thus safer for human-robot interaction. Furthermore, they can store energy in their elastic element and can release it later to achieve human-like dynamic movements. However, it is not clear how to integrate them in teleoperator...conference paper 2017

Schiele, A. (author)This thesis is the first to provide the fundamentals of ergonomic exoskeleton design. The fundamental theory as well as technology necessary to analyze and develop ergonomic wearable robots interacting with humans is established and validated by experiments and prototypes. The fundamentals are (1) a new theoretical framework for analyzing...doctoral thesis 2008
