Haptic-Guided Teleoperation of a 7-DoF Collaborative Robot Arm with an Identical Twin Master (2020)
Journal Article
Singh, J., Srinivasan, A. R., Neumann, G., & Kucukyilmaz, A. (2020). Haptic-Guided Teleoperation of a 7-DoF Collaborative Robot Arm with an Identical Twin Master. IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 13(1), 246-252. https://doi.org/10.1109/toh.2020.2971485
