Human-Scale Bimanual Haptic Interface

چکیده
This article presents a haptic system for bimanual haptic feedback that is composed of two light-weight robot arms. The system has a workspace and force capabilities similar to that of two human arms. Sophisticated control strategies are implemented to enable using this system as haptic interface. Depending on the requirements of the task one of three different handles can connect the human hand to the robot. Besides the human-machine-interface, the haptic rendering software is improved such that collisions of two dynamical interaction objects are computed in real-time. The system has been proven to be well suited as haptic interface for multimodal virtual assembly simulations.

Previse - a human-scale virtual environment with haptic feedback
This paper presents a human-scale multi-modal virtual environment. User interacts with virtual worlds using a large-scale bimanual haptic interface called the SPIDAR-H. This interface is used to track user’s hands movements and to display various aspects of force feedback associated mainly with contact, weight, and inertia. In order to increase the accuracy of the system, a calibration method i...
متن کاملA Mobile Haptic Interface for Bimanual Manipulations in Extended Remote/virtual Environments
The concept of a new mobile haptic interface for unconstrained bimanual manipulation is presented. This device, which has been developed at the High-Fidelity Telepresence and Teleaction Research Centre, Munich, Germany, allows locomotion and haptic interaction at the same time. In contrast to most existing haptic interfaces, it is therefore not restricted to desktop applications but also enable...
متن کاملUnimanual and bimanual weight perception of virtual objects with a new multi-finger haptic interface.
Accurate weight perception is important particularly in tasks where the user has to apply vertical forces to ensure safe landing of a fragile object or precise penetration of a surface with a probe. Moreover, depending on physical properties of objects such as weight and size we may switch between unimanual and bimanual manipulation during a task. Research has shown that bimanual manipulation o...
