Simulation of the Admittance Control Based Haptic Interface Device

An Assistive Indoor Navigation System for the Visually Impaired in Multi-Floor Environments

This paper presents an innovative wearable system to assist visually impaired people navigate indoors in real time. Our proposed system incorporates state-of-the-art handheld devices from Google’s Project Tango and integrates path planner and obstacle avoidance submodules, as well as human-computer interaction techniques, to provide assistance to the user. Our system preprocesses a priori knowl...

Image Based Indoor Navigation

Over the last years researchers proposed numerous indoor localisation and navigation systems. However, solutions that use WiFi or Radio Frequency Identification require infrastructure to be deployed in the navigation area and infrastructure-less techniques, e.g. the ones based on mobile cell ID or dead reckoning suffer from large accuracy errors. In this Thesis, we present a novel approach of i...

Haptic-based navigation for the virtual bronchoscopy ⋆

In order to help in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions, this paper presents a virtual bronchoscopy system that allows the navigation within a 3D reconstruction of the tracheobronchial tree using a haptic device whose permitted motions mimics those done with the real bronchoscope, and that is able to feedback forces resulting from contacts with the walls. The system reconstructs the 3D mod...
