The previous approaches in the teleoperation literature focus on the design of robust controllers for a specified bilateral teleoperation system. However, the performance of the system depends on the task, mechanism, and sensory configuration as well as the controller. This paper presents a quantitative comparison framework of bilateral teleoperation systems with various drive mechanisms and senso...Show More
We present a systematic review on three comparative layouts-juxtaposition, superposition, and explicit-encoding-which are information visualization (InfoVis) layouts designed to support comparison tasks. For the last decade, these layouts have served as fundamental idioms in designing many visualization systems. However, we found that the layouts have been used with inconsistent terms and confusio...Show More

Research on humanoid robotic systems involves a considerable amount of computational resources, not only for the involved design but also for its development and subsequent implementation. For robotic systems to be implemented in realworld scenarios, in several situations, it is preferred to develop and test them under controlled environments in order to reduce the risk of errors and unexpected be...Show More
Objective: We propose a method for the reconstruction of parameter-maps in Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (QMRI). Methods: Because different quantitative parameter-maps differ from each other in terms of local features, we propose a method where the employed dictionary learning (DL) and sparse coding (SC) algorithms automatically estimate the optimal dictionary-size and sparsity level sep...Show More
Hyperspectral imagery (HSI) restoration is a fundamental problem as a preprocessing step. In this letter, we present a novel auto-weighted nonlocal tensor ring rank minimization (ANTRRM) to reduce noise in HSI. First, nonlocal cuboid tensorization (NCT), built by similar grouping cuboids in HSI data, exploits the nonlocal self-similarity and the spatial–spectral correlation simultaneously. Then, t...Show More
