Tension Based 7-DOF Force Feedback Device: SPIDAR-G
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we intend to demonstrate a new intuitive force-feedback device for advanced VR applications. Force feedback for the device is tension based and is characterized by 7 degrees of freedom (DOF); 3 DOF for translation, 3 DOF for rotation, and 1 DOF for grasp). The SPIDAR-G (Space Interface Device for Artificial Reality with Grip) will allow users to interact with virtual objects naturally by manipulating two hemispherical grips located in the center of the device frame. We will show how to connect the strings between each vertex of grip and each extremity of the frame in order to achieve force feedback. In addition, methodologies will be discussed for calculating translation, orientation and grasp using the length of 8 strings connected to the motors and encoders on the frame. The SPIDAR-G exhibits smooth force feedback, minimized inertia, no backlash, scalability and safety. Such features are attributed to strategic string arrangement and control that results in stable haptic rendering. The design and control of the SPIDAR-G will be described in detail and the Space Graphic User Interface system based on the proposed SPIDAR-G system will be demonstrated. Experimental results validate the feasibility of the proposed device and reveal its application to virtual reality.

This paper presents the development of string-based force display system SPIDAR and its different versions. Ranging from a simple “pick and place” task to more complicated physical based interactions, SPIDAR has emerged as a distinguished haptic interface that have the following advantages: 1) scalability: with simple modification on its structure layout, SPIDAR can be fit to different working ...
متن کاملDevelopment of new force feedback interface for two-handed 6DOF manipulation SPIDAR-G&G system
In this paper, we developed a new haptic interface SPIDAR-G&G system to take advantage of the user's existing two hands skills for completing the continuous and compound task in a virtual world. A user cannot only manipulate the 3D objects with 6DOF translational and rotational motion by using the grip which located in the workspace of two frames, but also get the 6DOF force feedback, 3DOF for ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Haptic Degrees of Freedom on Task Performance in Virtual Surgical Environments
Force and touch feedback, or haptics, can play a significant role in the realism of virtual reality surgical simulation. While it is accepted that simulators providing haptic feedback often outperform those that do not, little is known about the degree of haptic fidelity required to achieve simulation objectives. This article evaluates the effect that employing haptic rendering with different d...
