This study develops a method to compensate for the communication time delay for tactile transmission systems. For transmitting tactile information from remote sites, the communication time delay degrades the validity of feedback. However, so far time delay compensation methods for tactile transmissions have yet to be proposed. For visual or force feedback systems, local models of remote environ...

A framework of tactile telepresence systems has been proposed in the present paper, which enables active touch with time-delay communication between a tactile sensor side system and a display side system. In the framework, a tactile display system can apply tactile stimuli to fingers of an operator in syncronization with touch motions based on physical parameters of objects which are estimated ...

We have already proposed a bilateral control scheme with energy balance monitoring under time-varying communication delay. In this paper, experimental results using the proposed control scheme over the computer network are shown. In the previous work, we dealt with a situation when the communication is in breakdown. However, we did not discuss how to recover the system after the communication l...

Applications running on the Internet of Things, such as the Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs) platform, generally have different quality of service (QoS) requirements. For urgent events, it is crucial that information be reported to the actuator quickly, and the communication cost is the second factor. However, for interesting events, communication costs, network lifetime and time a...
