Interactive childbirth simulator with haptic feedback: Preliminary design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses benefits and difficulties in designing an interactive delivery simulator with haptic feedback. It focuses on the feasibility of such a system. For this pilot study, simple models of women pelvis, fetus and muscles have been considered to make a “canonical system”. Preliminary force feedback delivery is simulated and experienced.

Incorporating Olfactory into a Multi-Modal Surgical Simulation
This paper proposes a novel multimodal interactive surgical simulator that incorporates haptic, olfactory, as well as traditional vision feedback. A scent diffuser was developed to produce odors when errors occur. Haptic device was used to provide the sense of touch to the user. The preliminary results show that adding smell as an aid to the simulation enhanced the memory retention that lead to...
متن کاملInteractive Dynamic Simulator for Humanoid Robots with Deformable Soles
We present an interactive dynamic simulator for poly-articulated bodies. We use constraintbased methods to compute contact forces with non-discretized friction, allowing fast simulation. The user can interact with the virtual environment while sensing force feedback through a haptic device. We integrated in our simulator the possibility to design and model an external passive system that allows...
متن کاملHaptic Master for Interactive Operation
This paper presents a novel 3-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) haptic master with 9 rubber bands for self-resetting. The mechanical design avoids coupling between three 10 directions mechanically by using three perpendicular axis intersecting at one point. Bevel 11 gear transmission is adopted to increase the compactness of the overall structure. 12 VR-based interactive system is designed and built b...
متن کاملHaptic Interaction with Virtual Avatars
In this paper we present an interactive dynamic simulator for virtual avatars. It allows creation and manipulation of objects in a collaborative way by virtual avatars or between virtual avatars and users. The users interact with the simulation environment using a haptic probe which provides force feedback. This dynamic simulator uses fast dynamics computation and constraint-based methods with ...
