Kinesthetic Force/moment Feedback via Active Exoskeleton
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theoretical control algorithms are developed and an experimental system is described for 6-dof kinesthetic force/moment feedback to a human operator from a remote system. The remote system is a common six-axis slave manipulator with a force/torque sensor, while the haptic interface is a unique, cable-driven, seven-axis, force/moment-reflecting exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is used for input when motion commands are sent to the robot and for output when force/moment wrenches of contact are reflected to the human operator. This system exists at Wright-Patterson AFB. The same techniques are applicable to a virtual environment with physics models and general haptic interfaces.

Control of Kinesthetic Haptic Interfaces in Vr Applications
Cartesian control algorithms are presented for 6-dof force-reflecting hand-controllers (FRHCs) used for simultaneous operator position/orientation (or rate) commands to a virtual reality (VR) system and virtual force/moment kinesthetic reflection to the operator. The commands and kinesthetic feedback are transferred in Cartesian space. The task force/moment (wrench) dominates while features are...
متن کاملDesign, Control and Performance of RiceWrist: A Force Feedback Wrist Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation and Training
This paper presents the design, control and performance of a high fidelity four degree-of-freedom wrist exoskeleton robot, RiceWrist, for training and rehabilitation. The RiceWrist is intended to provide kinesthetic feedback during the training of motor skills or rehabilitation of reaching movements. Motivation for such applications is based on findings that show robot-assisted physical therapy...
متن کاملSensory subtraction via cutaneous feedback: a novel technique to improve the transparency of robotic surgery
In this paper we present a novel technique to force feedback in robot-assisted surgery. It consists of substituting haptic force, composed by kinesthetic and cutaneous components, with cutaneous stimuli only. The force generated can be thus thought as a subtraction between the complete haptic interaction, cutaneous and kinesthetic, and the kinesthetic part of it. For this reason, we refer to th...
متن کاملMulti-Fingered Tactile Feedback from Virtual and Remote Environments
This paper outlines a novel approach of displaying multifingered tactile feedback information from remote and virtual environments. Miniature tactile fingertip modules are developed allowing multi-fingered integration into an already existing hand force exoskeleton for display of combined tactile and kinesthetic feedback. The tactile feedback comprises generation of both, vibrotactile and therm...
متن کاملTraining Model-based Master-slave Rehabilitation Training Strategy using the Phantom Premium and an Exoskeleton Device
Despite the benefits of the robotic technologies on rehabilitation, human involvement is still critical. On the aspect of patients, they also need the supervision of the therapist as well as their active guidance and their expertise. In this paper, a novel master-slave rehabilitation system with force feedback and a meaningful training model for recovering the elbow joint function is presented....
