Smoothing haptic interaction using molecular force calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new method for smoothing haptic interaction with molecular force calculations that uses Lennard-Jones forcefield. The gradient of the forcefield is used unaltered when the distance between two atoms is greater than the sum of their van der Waals radii. However, when they are smaller, a hard-surface wall implemented using a spring model is used to repel two atoms. This eliminates the instability when two atoms are in contact in the presence of forcefields that have strong gradients. This method is tested on rigid hydrocarbon molecules with no bond creation or breaking. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

متن کاملHaptic Rendering Based on RBF Approximation from Dynamically Updated Data
In this paper, an extension of our previous research focused on haptic rendering based on interpolation from precomputed data is presented. The technique employs the radial-basis function (RBF) interpolation to achieve the accuracy of the force response approximation, however, it assumes that the data used by the interpolation method are generated on-the-fly during the haptic interaction. The i...
متن کاملAdaptive haptic rendering for time-varying haptic and video frame rates in multi-modal interactions
In multi-modal interactions including haptics, problems such as input sensor noise, temporal mismatch between graphics and haptics, and non-constant refresh rates may cause non-smooth force/torque display. This paper proposes temporal smoothing technique for haptic interaction using a sensing glove inmulti-modal applications. The proposed technique employs two processes: (1) a noise reduction m...
متن کاملThe wave variables, a solution for stable haptic feedback in molecular docking simulations
This paper presents a new method for a six degrees of freedom haptic feedback in molecular docking simulations in virtual reality. The proposed method allows haptic interaction even in the case of classical molecular simulation which implies notoriously long computation time. These simulations are based on the Newtonian mechanics theory and imply an energetic interaction description between ato...
متن کاملModelling of interaction between a spatula and a human brain
This paper describes a method for surgery simulation, or more specifically a learning system of how to use a brain spatula. Improper use of brain spatulas can lead to brain tissue lesions such as tearing of brain tissue and ischemia. The idea is to provide surgeons with a tool which can teach them the correlation between deformation and applied force. The system includes a Finite Element based ...
