Improved Haptic Rendering for Multi-Finger Manipulation Using Friction Cone based God-Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method of characterising friction in a virtual haptic environment is described and validated in a small experimental two-finger grasp task. The algorithm adapts a common technique called the god-object method, such that the god-object is updated only when it strays outside the friction cone defined by the coefficient of friction of the object surface. The technique not only allows efficient robust estimation of friction but also can give residual forces and torques thereby allowing the object to be manipulated in a natural fashion.

Extending the Friction Cone Algorithm for Arbitrary Polygon Based Haptic Objects
Most haptic environments are based on single point interactions whereas in practice, object manipulation requires multiple contact points between the object, fingers, thumb and palm. The Friction Cone Algorithm was developed specifically to work well in a multi-finger haptic environment where object manipulation would occur. However, the Friction Cone Algorithm has two shortcomings when applied...
متن کاملA constraint-based god-object method for haptic display
Haptic display is the process of applying forces to a human \observer" giving the sensation of touching and interacting with real physical objects. Touch is unique among the senses because it allows simultaneous exploration and manipulation of an environment. A haptic display system has three main components. The rst is the haptic interface, or display device generally some type of electro-mech...
متن کامل6-DoF Haptic Rendering of Static Coulomb Friction Using Linear Programming
Simulating frictional contact between objects with complex geometry is important for 6-DoF haptic rendering applications. For example, friction determines whether components can be navigated past narrow clearances in virtual assembly. State-of-the-art haptic rendering of frictional contact either augments penalty contact with frictional penalty springs, which do not prevent sliding and cannot r...
متن کاملMulti - Finger Manipulation of Virtual Objects *
The manipulation of a virtual object by means of a digital glove is a tedious task for repetitive position and orientation adjustments. In this paper we try to overcome the lack of force feedback of general purpose digital gloves. We propose a solution based only on the interpretation of instantaneous hand posture variations. From this knowledge, a virtual contact model analog to the Coulomb la...
متن کاملHaptic Feedback using Local Models of Interaction
A local model of interaction proposed for haptic rendering of rigid body motion is extended to the rigid body manipulation of articulated structures. In the proposed local model, the motion constraints imposed on the user by the articulated structure are rendered through the local dynamics, while those imposed by other virtual objects are rendered through impulsive, penalty, and friction contac...
