Seminar by Emek Barış Küçüktabak on May 29th @20.00, Online
Join Teams Title: Physical Human-Robot-Human Interaction Abstract: Effective physical interaction between therapists and patients is crucial in rehabilitation but is often constrained by proximity and a fixed interaction medium. This work explores physical Human-Robot-Human Interaction (pHRHI) as a novel approach to enabling remote, adjustable, and immersive physical interactions between humans, particularly for lower-limb gait rehabilitation. […]

Seminar by Burak Boyacıoğlu on 24th March @13.30, Seminar Room Z022, METU Research Park
Join Teams Title: Active Sensing and Sensor Placement: Lessons from Biological Flight Abstract: Flying insects have an unexpectedly remarkable sensing capacity. For instance, the hawkmoth has gyroscopic sensing capabilities, thanks to neural-encoded strain information through mechanosensors called campaniform sensilla located on their wings. Similarly, the fruit fly can track chemical plumes by estimating the ambient […]
