Stability of Haptic Rendering: Discretization,Quantization, Time-Delays and Coulomb Effects

چکیده
Rendering stiff virtual objects remains a core challenge in the field of haptics. A study of this problem is presented, which relates the maximum achievable object stiffness to the elements of the control loop. In particular, we examine how the sampling rate, quantization, computational delay, and amplifier dynamics interact with the inertia, natural viscous, and Coulomb damping of the haptic device. Nonlinear effects create distinct stability regions and many common devices operate stably, yet in violation of passivity criteria. An energy based approach provides theoretical insights, supported by simulations, experimental data, and a describing function analysis. The presented results subsume previously known stability conditions.

Wave Haptics: Encoderless Virtual Stiffnesses
Haptic rendering commonly implements virtual springs using DC motors with current amplifiers and encoder-based position feedback. In these schemes, quantization, discretization, and delays all impose performance limits. Meanwhile the amplifiers try to cancel the electrical motor dynamics, which are actually beneficial to the haptic display. We present an alternate approach that fully embraces a...
متن کامل6-DoF Haptic Rendering of Static Coulomb Friction Using Linear Programming
Simulating frictional contact between objects with complex geometry is important for 6-DoF haptic rendering applications. For example, friction determines whether components can be navigated past narrow clearances in virtual assembly. State-of-the-art haptic rendering of frictional contact either augments penalty contact with frictional penalty springs, which do not prevent sliding and cannot r...

Just as computer graphics is concerned with synthesizing and rendering visual images, computer haptics is the art and science of developing software algorithms that synthesize computer generated forces to be displayed to the user for perception and manipulation of virtual objects through touch. The goal of haptic rendering is to enable a user to touch, feel, and manipulate virtual objects throu...
متن کاملStability Boundary and Transparency for Haptic Rendering
Over the past years haptic interfaces have been successfully integrated into a wide range of fields such as engineering (Borro et al., 2004) or surgery (Basdogan et al., 2004). Haptic devices allow users to interact with a certain environment, either remote or virtual, by the sense of touch. In these applications—unlike in conventional robotic systems—the user shares workspace with the device. ...
متن کاملHaptic Data Reduction in Time-delayed Teleoperation Based on the Time Domain Passivity Approach
We propose a novel combination of haptic data reduction with the control architecture of the time domain passivity approach (TDPA) in teleoperation systems for dealing with time-varying delay. The sampling rate of haptic data is typically 1kHz for stability and transparency reasons. This high packet rate as well as the additional data overhead becomes a critical factor for data transmission in ...
