On Application of Virtual Fixtures as an Aid for Telemanipulation and Training

چکیده
This paper presents a study on the application of virtual fixtures as a control aid for performing telemanipulation or in the training environment. The implementation features both manual and supervisory control modes. It also studies approaches for using virtual fixtures in generating visual and force clues and/or for restricting the motion of the slave using the definition of virtual fixtures. In this preliminary study it was found that, the virtual fixtures could improve the speed and precision of the operator, reduce the operator’s workload and the duration of the training phase for the novice operator.

Virtual Fixtures for Bilateral Telemanipulation
This dissertation addresses three related topics in the application of virtual fixtures to bilateral telemanipulation systems. Bilateral telemanipulation is the direct human control of a remote robot, with force and/or tactile feedback, and virtual fixtures are guidance modes, implemented in software, that assist the user in accomplishing a telemanipulated task. The first topic addressed in thi...
متن کاملAssembling Virtual Fixtures for Guidance in Training Environments
We set up a library of virtual fixtures with both haptic and graphic properties and behaviors. For a given task, Virtual Fixture Assembly Language (VFAL) could be used to construct various virtual fixture series, with graphic and force guidance rules, making the low-level haptic and graphic rendering details transparent to the developers. An experiment evaluated the application of virtual fixtu...
متن کاملStable Forbidden-Region Virtual Fixtures for Bilateral Telemanipulation
There has been recent interest in novel human-machine collaborative control laws, called “virtual fixtures,” which provide operator assistance for telemanipulation tasks. A forbidden-region virtual fixture is a constraint, implemented in software, that seeks to prevent the slave manipulator of a master/slave telemanipulation system from entering into a forbidden region of the workspace. In this...
متن کاملBilateral Telemanipulation with Guidance Virtual Fixtures
Pseudo-admittance is introduced as a novel bilateral telemanipulation system that is designed to mimic proportional-velocity admittance control on systems where the master is an impedance-type robot. The controller generalizes to systems with slave robots of the impedance or admittance type. Pseudo-admittance uses a proxy with admittance dynamics combined with direct force feedback from the sla...
متن کاملSteady-Hand Teleoperation with Virtual Fixtures
We present a method for implementing “steadyhand control” on teleoperators where the master device is of the impedance type. Typical steady-hand systems are admittance controlled cooperative robots that can implement very high damping. Such systems are ideal for implementing guidance virtual fixtures, which are constraints in software that assist a user in moving a tool along preferred paths. O...
