Platypus is the first system to localize and identify people by remotely passively sensing changes in their body electric potential which occur naturally during walking. While it uses three or more sensors with a maximum range of 2 m, as tag-free does not require user carry any special hardware. We describe physical principles behind changes, predictive mathematical model how this affects passive field sensor. By inverting combining data from sensors, we infer method for localizing...
In this paper, we develop possible realizations of pseudo-haptic feedback in teleoperation systems based on existing works for virtual reality and the intended applications. We derive four potential factors affecting performance haptic (calculation operator, maximum displacement, offset force, scaling factor), which are analyzed three compliance identification experiments. First, analyze principle usability by comparing information transfer measures direct interaction. Pseudo-haptic...
In this work, we present a novel way in which DRAM modules, are found inherently many IoT devices, can be used to enhance the security of such devices. We test robustness two DRAM-based primitives, namely retention-based PUFs and Row Hammer PUFs, external factors, i.e., ambient temperature voltage variations. As both types proven highly dependent on temperature, we, then, discuss ways implement cryptographic applications robust way, no longer being affected by Finally, also proof-of-concept...

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) based on the retention times of cells a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) can be utilised for implementation cost-efficient and lightweight cryptographic protocols. However, as recent work has demonstrated, needed in order to generate their responses may prohibit widespread usage. To address this issue, Row Hammer PUF been proposed by Schaller et al., which leverages row hammer effect DRAM modules reduce and, therefore, significantly speed up generation...
Abstract Miniaturized force/torque sensors are relevant components for robotic interaction with humans and unknown environments.

The deformation element consists of hexapod geometry six sensing elements total diameter 9 mm. sensor is divided into three steps: 1. Milling planar arrangement out 2 mm steel (1 .4301) plate, 2. applying twelve strain gauges in half-bridge configuration 3. rolling...

Abstract Background Impairment of haptic perception by surgical gloves could reduce requirements on systems for surgery. While grip forces and manipulation capabilities were not impaired in previous studies, no data is available thresholds.

Pseudo haptic sensation is an illusion based on visual stimuli. In virtual environments the principle of pseudo feedback used to simulate material properties such as stiffness, mass and friction. Transfering real teleoperation systems can provide a for material, manipulated without active feedback.
