A telemanipulation system for psychophysical investigation of haptic interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an experimental highdelity system for making psychophysical measurements on human operators performing real, virtual, and real-remote 3D haptic manipulation tasks. Operators interact with task environments through six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) Lorentz magnetic levitation haptic devices. This arrangement allows the operator to exert and experience real, virtual, and real-remote forces/torques using the same 6-DOF master device. In the virtual task scenario, interactions are rendered haptically. In the real task scenario, the manipulandum of the haptic device interacts by direct mechanics with a real environment. In the remote-real scenario, interactions with a remote real task environment are mediated through a 6-DOF Lorentz magnetic levitation slave device carried by a 6-DOF robot arm. In all three scenarios, visual feedback is provided by a graphical display. The system records accurate positions/orientations and forces/torques as a function of time. These records can be parsed automatically and analyzed o -line to evaluate operator performance.

Modeling the human hand as it interacts with a telemanipulation system
This paper describes the development of a linear lumped-parameter hand/arm model for the operator of a telemanipulation system. The authors previously developed a control architecture that implements frequency-domain loop-shaping compensators to improve the transparency or ‘‘feel’’ of a telemanipulation system, and a human model is used when simulating this architecture. Typically, the human is...
متن کاملVision-Based Haptic Feedback with Physically-Based Model for Telemanipulation
Haptic feedback offers the potential to increase the quality and capability of human-machine interactions as well as the ability to skillfully manipulate objects by exploiting the sense of touch (Lin & Salisbury, 2004). Previous studies on haptic feedback systems typically dealt with virtual reality (VR)-based simulations, and telemanipulation systems. VR-based simulation systems used haptic in...

This work presents an advanced dual-handed, mobile telerobotic system developed at the High-Fidelity Telepresence and Teleaction Research Centre, Munich, Germany. To the authors’ best knowledge, it is the first attempt to integrate mobile and multi-robot strategies in one physical and logical framework. In order to exploit human manipulation capabilities, a high fidelity telemanipulation system...
متن کاملVibrotactile Feedback for Haptics and Telemanipulation: Survey, Concept and Experiment
In telemanipulation and 3D virtual interactions it is important to transmit force sensation from the remote or virtual environment to the operator. Due to the weak points (control issues, robustness, cost) of real force feedback devices, methods where force is rendered on non-native sensory channels have grounds. In this paper, a survey of the related literature is presented and the concept of ...
متن کاملHaptic Telemanipulation in Extensive Remote Environments
We present a telepresence system with visual and haptic feedback for a telemanipulation task in full six degrees-of-freedom. The employed teleoperator consists of an anthropomorphic manipulator arm mounted on a mobile base to allow task execution in wide remote environments. On the operator side we use a hyperredundant force-reflecting input device. Control issues of operator and teleoperator a...
