Mechanical Engineering PhD Candidate passionate about robotics in medicine and haptics research.

I'm proud to announce that our work "Investigating Haptic Feedback in Vision-Deficient Millirobot Telemanipulation" has been published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters! Thank you to everyone involved in this long running project, especially my co-authors Onder Erin, Ph.D. for your expert technical advice, Axel Krieger for your support turning this small endeavor into a full fledged research project, and Jeremy D. Brown, PhD for your persistent commitment to the science despite numerous road bumps throughout the way. Surgeons utilize their visual feedback to estimate forces in teleoperated surgical interventions, but not all imaging modalities provide high fidelity information. We evaluated how reliance on haptic force-feedback changes when visual feedback is corrupted. Participants navigated the robot through a maze and manipulated beads under simulated fluoroscopy. Results from our user study showed over 40% performance improvement with haptic feedback, along with reduced mean and maximum force exertion on surroundings. Notably, benefits persisted after haptic feedback was removed. These findings highlight the potential of haptic feedback to improve millirobot telemanipulation in vision-deficient tasks.

That's amazing Naveed! Thanks for acknowledgement! Glad to see this project has begun to bear fruits. Hope the ADC board performed as well as you needed it to. Now you can take down the comic you had hanging in your cube! 😛

It was a pleasure to work with you and the team back in my times at JHU! The haptic systems you made had been an excellent experience for me to learn from you. And I am so glad you pushed this study through and got a very high quality RA-L paper. Wish you good luck in your future works!
