Haptic Virtual Fixtures for Robot-Assisted Manipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Haptic virtual fixtures are software-generated force and position signals applied to human operators in order to improve the safety, accuracy, and speed of robot-assisted manipulation tasks. Virtual fixtures are effective and intuitive because they capitalize on both the accuracy of robotic systems and the intelligence of human operators. In this paper, we discuss the design, analysis, and implementation of two categories of virtual fixtures: guidance virtual fixtures, which assist the user in moving the manipulator along desired paths or surfaces in the workspace, and forbidden-region virtual fixtures, which prevent the manipulator from entering into forbidden regions of the workspace. Virtual fixtures are analyzed in the context of both cooperative manipulation and telemanipulation systems, considering issues related to stability, passivity, human modeling, and applications.

Vision Assisted Control for Manipulation using Virtual Fixtures: Experiments at Macro and Micro Scales
We present the design and implementation of a visionbased system for micron-scale, cooperative manipulation of a surgical tool. The system is based on a control algorithm that implements a broad class of guidance modes called virtual xtures. A virtual xture, like a real xture, limits the motion of a tool to a prescribed class or range. The implemented system uses vision as a sensor for providin...
متن کاملVirtual Fixtures for Robot Assisted Micromanipulation
This paper describes a telemicromanipulation system to assist persons with different skills to perform dexterous micromanipulation tasks. This research is expected to enhance the teleoperation performance through the use of haptic and pseudo-haptic guidance. For this purpose, we proposed a humanmachine interface developed on virtualized reality representation of the micro-environment. Afterward...

متن کاملMethods for haptic feedback in teleoperated robot-assisted surgery
Teleoperated minimally invasive surgical robots can significantly enhance a surgeon's accuracy, dexterity and visualization. However, current commercially available systems do not include significant haptic (force and tactile) feedback to the operator. This paper describes experiments to characterize this problem, as well as several methods to provide haptic feedback in order to improve surgeon...

The use of haptic virtual fixtures is a potential tool to improve the safety of robotic and telerobotic surgery. They can “push back” on the surgeon to prevent unintended surgical tool movements into protected zones. Previous work has suggested generating virtual fixtures from preoperative images like CT scans. However these are difficult to establish and register in dynamic environments. This ...
