Haptic interfaces and Human-Robot Interaction for eXtended Reality experiences with intelligent/autonomous systems

💼 Thesis In Collaboration With a Company 🌍 Thesis Abroad

Thesis Description & Objectives

Several thesis proposals are available regarding the use of haptic feedback in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality experiences. The proposals are in collaboration with different teams of the IRISA-Inria center at Rennes university and include an internship at their premises (http://www.irisa.fr/en/scientific-departments-irisa). Duration of the thesis/internship is approximately 5-6 months. Experience in C/C++/C#, Unity3D, VR/AR tools, human-machine interaction are required.
Topics:
– Development of a Multi-Modal Vibro-Thermal Haptic Device for
Enhancing Social Touch and Emotional Connection in Virtual Reality
– Shifting autonomy for micro- and small-scale robotic swarm control
– Optimized time-domain control of teleoperation systems
– Modular Multisensory Encounter-Type Haptic Device for Virtual and Augmented Realities
