A Virtual Reality Teleoperator Interface for Assembly of Hybrid Mems Prototypes

چکیده
In this paper we describe a teleoperated microassembly workcell that integrates a VRML-based virtual microworld with visual servoing micromanipulation strategies. Java is used to program the VRML-based supervisory interface and to communicate with the microassembly workcell. This provides platform independence and allows remote teleoperation over the Internet. A key aspect of our approach entails the integration of teleoperation and visual servoing strategies. This allows a supervisor to guide the task remotely, while visual servoing strategies compensate for the imprecisely calibrated microworld. Results are presented that demonstrate system performance when a supervisor manipulates a microobject remotely. Though Internet delays impact the dynamic performance of the system, teleoperated relative parts placements with submicron precision is successfully demonstrated.

Using a Virtual Reality Environment to Simulate the Pushing of Cylindrical Nanoparticles
With the rise in the use of AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), we have witnessed a growing use of atomic microscope based nanorobots in the precise displacement of various particles. There are certain limitations to the application of nanorobots in the moving of nanoparticles. One of the most important of these limitations is the lack of an appropriate image feedback concurrent with the displaci...

This article reports a variety of sensory and perceptual consequences of eliminating, via a rigid fingertip sheath, the spatially distributed fingertip force information that is normally available during tactile and haptic sensing. Sensory measures included tactile spatial acuity, tactile force, and vibrotactile thresholds. Suprathreshold tasks included perception of roughness, perception of 2-...

Teleoperation is now common in high-risk work domains, particularly in surgery with the extensive use of remote, minimally invasive techniques. While this new technology affords a novel means by which to control human action for surgical intervention, interface design often constrains the operator in unorthodox ways, requiring considerable adaptation and raising patient safety concerns. There i...
