- 2001
An energy-based method is presented for controlling a haptic interface system to ensure stable contact under a wide variety of operating conditions and requires very little additional computation and does not require a dynamical model to be identified.
A design framework for teleoperators with kinesthetic feedback

- 1 August 1989
It is shown that the hybrid model (as opposed to other two-port forms) leads to an intuitive representation of ideal teleoperator performance and applies to several teleoperator architectures.
Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments
- R. Adams, B. Hannaford

- 19 October 1999
By decoupling the haptic display control problem from the design of virtual environments, the use of a virtual coupling network frees the developer of haptic-enabled virtual reality models from issues of mechanical stability.
A Hybrid Discriminative/Generative Approach for Modeling Human Activities

- 30 July 2005
A hybrid approach to recognizing activities is presented, which combines boosting to discriminatively select useful features and learn an ensemble of static classifiers to recognize different activities, with hidden Markov models (HMMs) to capture the temporal regularities and smoothness of activities.
Static and dynamic characteristics of McKibben pneumatic artificial muscles

- EngineeringProceedings of the IEEE International Conference…
- 8 May 1994
The authors report static and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a linearized model of these properties for three different models of McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator.
Stable teleoperation with time-domain passivity control
- J. Ryu, D. Kwon, B. Hannaford
- EngineeringIEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation
- 2004
A new bilateral control scheme is proposed to ensure stable teleoperation under a wide variety of environments and operating speeds and the issues in implementing the "passivity observer" and "passive controller" to teleoperation systems are studied.

- Computer ScienceInternational Conference on Pervasive Computing
- 21 April 2004
A method to determine if two devices are carried by the same person, by analyzing walking data recorded by low-cost MEMS accelerometers using the coherence function, a measure of linear correlation in the frequency domain, is presented.
