Stable haptic interaction in a dynamic virtual environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
To carry out a stable haptic interaction with a dynamic virtual environment containing several moving and/or deformable bodies is challenging. To achieve this, we present a collision detection algorithm based on a segmentation of the space with a regular voxel grid. Interpenetration is quickly estimated using a sphere decomposition of the bodies. Thereafter, we use the voxel grid as a still image of the environment to provide a fast intermediate model that computes the force feedback. It thus enables to simulate the environment at a slow rate (10-100Hz) while controlling the haptic device at the required frequency (about lkHz).

Stable Haptic Interaction with Switched Virtual Environments
This paper investigates haptic interaction with virtual environments composed of objects with diverse dynamic properties. Passivity is often used for stability analysis of haptic systems. We demonstrate that when the dynamics of the virtual environment during the interaction changes, the approaches using traditional notion of passivity fail. We then show that a recently proposed notion of passi...
متن کاملStable Haptic Interaction with Virtual Environments using Voxel-Pointshell
Despite a lot of research in recent years stable and realistic haptic interaction with virtual environments keeps an unsolved problem. Among different approaches the Voxmap-PointShell (VPS) method seems very promising due to constant sample rates, independent of the static environment. But there is still the stability problem to be solved globally. In this paper some adaptations based on the VP...

Creating a compelling haptic sense of immersion in a virtual environment is a challenging task for the control engineer. A haptic display must render both low impedance free-space motion and high impedance rigid constraints while ensuring stable interaction. This paper outlines a control design approach for the most common haptic display implementation, the impedance display. Two-port absolute ...

In haptic simulation, a human operator kinesthetically explores a virtual environment. To achieve a virtual sense of touch, the human interacts with an active mechanical device, called a haptic display. This paper presents an approach to guarantee that this physical manmachine interface remains stable, while maximizing performance. The key element in ensuring stability is the virtual coupling n...
