Il quinto video della seria per Siena TV / Buongiorno Siena di Daniele Magrini sulle nostre attività di ricerca sulla #roboticachirurgica #robotics #haptics #tactilefeedback #sirslab Università degli Studi di Siena Sienna Diism. Il video completo su youtube
Dear Roboticists,
my team and I realized at the University of Siena a series of short video lectures on robotic grasping and we would like to share with you the result.
The on-line course on “The Art of Grasping and Manipulation in Robotics” is now available: http://sirslab.dii.unisi.it/GraspingCourse/index.html.
Building dexterous robotic hands and studying new algorithms to control them is essential to allow industrial, service, and humanoid robots to interact with objects around them, and, possibly, with humans in a natural and safe way. The main objective of this course is to give an overview of grasp modeling and control, also introducing the SynGrasp MATLAB® Toolbox.
The course is based on the chapter on Grasping of the Springer Handbook of Robotics: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-32552-1_38
Video Lectures have mainly been recorded during real lectures and are structured in four units.
I hope you will find this course useful. We are open to comments and suggestions on how to improve it and possibly extend it to include more topics.
Best regards,
_Domenico and the #SIRSLab team

Robot in Sanità
Giovedì, 20 Settembre 2018 – da 09:45 a 17:00
Il 20 Settembre, alle ore 09:45 presso l’ Aula 2 c/o Centro Didattico Le Scotte c/o AOU SIENA – Strada delle Scotte, 4 (ROBOT IN SANITA’ – brochurelato elisoccorso), si terrà il seminario “Robot in Sanità”.
Uomo e Robot in sanità, due mondi sempre più vicini. Nel seminario saranno ripercorse alcune applicazioni sanitarie, nella prospettiva di comunicare le future esigenze cliniche e conoscere i prodotti già presenti o di prossima innovazione.
ISCRIZIONI ENTRO IL 18 SETTEMBRE 2018
L’iscrizione al Seminario è gratuita e dovrà avvenire esclusivamente online all’indirizzo https://siena.ing4.it/ISFormazione-Siena
attraverso la piattaforma dedicata alla formazione, selezionando il titolo del Seminario

Abstract. Augmented Reality (AR) enriches our physical world with digital content and media, such as 3D models and videos, overlaying in real time the camera view of our smartphone, tablet, laptop, or glasses. Despite the recent massive interest for this technology, it is still not possible to receive rich haptic feedback when interacting with augmented environments. This lack is mainly due to the poor diffusion of suitable haptic interfaces, which should be easy to wear, lightweight, compact, and inexpensive. In this paper, we briefly review the state of the art on wearable haptics and its application in AR. Then, we present three AR use cases, considering tasks of manipulation, guidance, and gaming, using both external cameras with standard screens as well as fully-wearable solutions, using the Microsoft HoloLens. We evaluate these tasks enrolling a total of 34 subjects, analyzing performance and user experience when using a 3-DoF wearable device for the fingertip, a 2-DoF wearable device for the proximal finger phalanx, a vibrotactile ring, and a popular sensory substitution technique (interaction force displayed as a colored bar). Results show that providing haptic feedback through the wearable devices significantly improves the performance, intuitiveness, and comfort of the considered AR tasks.
