Passive Haptics: Pulsive Damping Brake for Greater Impulse Perception
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed a passive haptic technique, using the brake of a DC motor, to create a greater perception of impulse force. We found that when using the brake of a DC motor, delivering two short pulses immediately prior to the main brake significantly increases the operator’s perception of impulse force. This finding was verified during our empirical assessment. In the experiment, all five participants reported that a damping brake with pulsive resistances delivered a larger resistance than that caused by a brake without pulsive changes. Our technique is applicable to passive haptic interfaces, which are inherently safe and energy-efficient.

DC Motor Damping: A Strategy to Increase Passive Stiffness of Haptic Devices
Physically dissipative damping can increase the range of passive stiffness that can be rendered by a haptic device. Unlike simulated damping it does not introduce noise into the haptic control system. A DC motor can generate such damping if it’s terminals are shorted. We employ a configuration of the H-bridge which can cause this damping to impart stability to our haptic device. This results in...
متن کاملAnalytical Matching of Optimal Damping Characteristics Curve for Vehicle Passive Suspensions
To facilitate the damping matching of dampers for vehicle passive suspensions, this paper proposes an analytical matching method of the optimal piecewise linear damping characteristics curve. Based on the vehicle vibration model, taking the suspension dynamic deflection as the constraint, by the vibration acceleration and the wheel dynamic load, an objective function about the relative damping ...
متن کاملDesign of controller for single axis knee using MR Damper
Human gait is characterized by periodic repetitions of two phases: a stance phase in which a foot is in contact with the ground, followed by a swing phase in which the lower limb swings through after toe-off. The functional necessities of above-knee prostheses are to provide knee locking during the stance phase and damping during the swing phase. Most of the conventional above-knee prostheses a...
