Computing optimal forces for generalised kinesthetic feedback on the human hand during virtual grasping and manipulation

چکیده
This paper focuses on the problem of force-feedback for the human-operator hand when manipulating virtual objects. We propose a method for the computation of feedback-forces that have to be applied on each individual phalanx and nger of the human hand in order to display pertinent, kinesthetic information about static or dynamic characteristics of objects present in the virtual scene. External forces and moments of the manipulated virtual objects have to be mapped on the contact-forces space of the virtual grasp. The method is based on the solution of a nonlinear programming problem, formulated by performing a static analysis of a general, multiple contact points virtual grasp. A methodology for modelling interactions within a virtual environment, and performing realistic grasping and manipulation, is also presented.

Brain activation during manipulation of the myoelectric prosthetic hand: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study.
Neuroimaging data, particularly functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings, have not been reported in users of the myoelectric or electromyographic (EMG) prosthetic hand. We developed a virtual EMG prosthetic hand system to eliminate mutual signal noise interference between fMRI imaging and the EMG prosthesis. We used fMRI to localize activation in the human brain during manipulation...
متن کاملA novel approach for two fingers grasping devices with cutaneous and kinesthetic force feedback
Two finger grasping devices are presented and used in different simulations, testing various kind of feedback: no tactile feedback, only kinesthetic feedback, only tactile feedback and both kinesthetic and tactile feedback. The kinesthetic feedback is provided by commercial haptic interfaces, while the cutaneous one is provided by two new haptic displays able to apply a wide range of contact fo...
متن کاملExtracting data from human manipulation of objects towards improving autonomous robotic grasping
Humans excel in manipulation tasks, a basic skill for our survival and a key feature in our manmade world of artefacts and devices. In this work, we study how humans manipulate simple daily objects, and construct a probabilistic representation model for the tasks and objects useful for autonomous grasping and manipulation by robotic hands. Human demonstrations of predefined object manipulation ...
متن کاملDesign of a 2-finger Hand Exoskeleton for Vr Grasping Simulation
There are numerous applications of VR simulation requiring the grasping and manipulation of virtual objects. Standard-use haptic interfaces (e.g. PHANToM) allow only a limited level of realism, as grasping is approximated through a metaphor (e.g. pressing a button for grasping an object). Existing hand exoskeletons have also certain drawbacks (e.g. feedback only for finger flexion, limited fing...
متن کاملHand Motion and Grasping: Capturing, Recognizing and Synthesizing
In this paper we review the various previous methods in vision-based hand motion analysis and hand motion synthesis and grasping. We present our two solutions to the problem. First, we present an articulated hand pose estimation scheme, in which we improve the regression forest based methods by incorporating high-level hand part feature and hand motion constraints. Second, we present a framewor...
