A Multi-Threaded Approach for Deformable/Rigid Contacts with Haptic Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a physically based method to deal with haptic feedback of manipulated deformable virtual objects in contact with rigid or deformable environment. The haptic rendering algorithm is based on the Signorini’s formulation of the contact as proposed in theoretical mechanics. Since haptic interaction requires high refresh rates, a multi-threaded methodology, sharing configuration values of the contact, ensures good stability and transparency performances. Thus, the interactive simulation gathers three synchronized process: the visualization process, the deformation/contact computation process, and the haptic rendering process.

متن کاملHaptic rendering of objects with rigid and deformable parts
In many haptic applications, the user interacts with the virtual environment through a rigid tool. Tool-based interaction is suitable in many applications, but the constraint of using rigid tools is not applicable to some situations, such as the use of catheters in virtual surgery, or of a rubber part in an assembly simulation. Rigid-tool-based interaction is also unable to provide force feedba...
متن کاملDynamic simulation and virtual control of a deformable fingertip
An e cient computational model for the dynamics of a deformable robot ngertip is presented. The dynamic model is based on a discretization of the ngertip's volume into a lattice of masses locally interconnected by damped springs. The lattice's parameters are adjusted in correspondence with bulk properties of the ngertip's deformable material (rubber). In the task studied, the ngertip moves towa...
متن کاملSimulating Deformable Tools with Haptic Feedback in a Virtual Environment
Simulations for training and analysis incorporating haptic feedback are becoming more popular and the sophistication of these simulations is increasing. Many systems now allow a range of simulated rigid tools to be used in haptic feedback applications, such as scalpels in surgical simulations. However, very often the rigid property of the simulated tool does not correspond to the flexibility of...
