In a bilateral teleoperation system, conditions involving open-loop model parameters and controller parameters for ensuring teleoperator passivity are useful as control design guidelines to attain maximum teleoperation transparency (due to passivity/transparency tradeoffs). By teleoperator, we...

A teleoperation system consists of a teleoperator, a human operator, and a remote environment. Conditions involving system and controller parameters that ensure the teleoperator passivity can serve as control design guidelines to attain maximum teleoperation transparency while maintaining system...

A study of passivity and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of alloy 800 in simulated steam generator crevice solution containing thiosulfate and sulphide species
DownloadFall 2011
The passivity and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behavior of Alloy 800 was studied in test solution containing thiosulfate and sulphide species. Cyclic polarization experiments in thiosulfate containing solutions indicated that with an increase in the concentration of thiosulfate, both the...

Bilateral Teleoperation System Stability with Non-passive and Strictly-Passive Operator or Environment
Download2015-01-01
A bilateral teleoperation system comprises a human operator, a teleoperator, and an environment. Without exact models for the teleoperator’s terminations (i.e., human operator and the environment), it is typically assumed that they are passive but otherwise arbitrary. Based on this assumption,...

Conventional approaches for stability analysis of bilateral teleoperation systems assume that the human operator does not inject energy into the system and behaves in a passive manner. Does this assumption hold for various tasks the human operator may execute in a teleoperation context? To answer...

This thesis presents techniques to measure the human arm's mechanical impedance using a rehabilitation robot, drawing applications to telerehabilitation and patient motor function assessment. Conventional teleoperation system stability analysis and control assumes the human operator remains...

Revisiting Llewellyn's Absolute Stability Criterion for Bilateral Teleoperation Systems under Non-passive Operator or Environment
Download2012-10-07
Stability of a haptic teleoperation system is influenced by the typically uncertain, time-varying and/or unknown dynamics of the operator and the environment. For a stability analysis that is independent of the operator and the environment dynamics, Llewellyn's absolute stability criterion...

Stability Analysis of Teleoperation Systems under Strictly Passive and Non-passive Operator
Download2013-04-14
Ali Jazayeri, Matthew Dyck, Mahdi Tavakoli
A bilateral teleoperation system includes a human operator and an environment, which make the system stability analysis complicated due to their unknown, time-varying and nonlinear nature. Unable to have exact models for the human operator and the environment, it is typically assumed that they...

This dissertation explores the strategic possibilities of passivity as a form of agency in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British gothic novel in order to recuperate its representations of the passive female body as sites of feminist resistance. Using the methodologies of feminist and...
