Multi-Fingered Haptic Interface Robot and Its Application Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Haptic interfaces that represent force and tactile feeling have been utilized in the areas of telemanipulation, interaction with microscale and nanoscale phenomena, and medical training and evaluation, to mention only some applications. A multi-fingered haptic interface has greater potential for these kinds of applications than does a singlepoint haptic interface. We developed a five-fingered haptic interface robot named HIRO II, which consists of a hand with 15 dof and an arm with 6 dof. The following research issues are presented: the design method of mechanism, an interface control that takes the redundancy of the mechanism into consideration, physical simulation including frictional force and moment, a haptic rendering with a deformable object, the system architecture and two application systems--a future science encyclopedia and a VR breast palpation system.

Mixed Control of Multi-fingered Haptic Interface Robot with Operator’s Uneasy Feeling in Mind
Abstract— This paper presents a mixed control of multi-fingered haptic interface robot consisting of a 6 DOF arm and a 15 DOF hand. The interface is placed opposite the human hand and presents force and tactile feeling to the fingertips. In order to reduce the uneasy feeling in the operator, a mixed control consisting of a finger force control and an arm position control intended to maximize th...

In this article we present a new isometric input device for multi-fingered grasping in virtual environments. The device was designed to simultaneously assess forces applied by the thumb, index, and middle finger. A mathematical model of grasping, adopted from the analysis of multi-fingered robot hands, was applied to achieve multi-fingered interaction with virtual objects. We used the concept o...
