Physics-based Approach to Haptic Display

چکیده
This paper addresses the implementation of complex multiple degree of freedom virtual environments for haptic display. We suggest that a physics-based approach to rigid body simulation is appropriate for hand tool simulation, but that currently available simulation techniques are not sufficient to guarantee successful implementation. We discuss the desirable features of a VE simulation, specifically highlighting the importance of stability guarantees.

Web-Based Touch Display for Accessible Science Education
Inaccessibility of instructional materials, media, and technologies used in science, engineering, and mathematics education severely restricts the ability of students with little or no sight to excel in these disciplines. Curricular barriers deny the world access to this pool of potential talent, and limit individuals' freedom to pursue technical careers. Immersion has developed a low-cost forc...
متن کاملVirtual Bone Surgery Using a Haptic Robot
Article history: Received: August 15, 2009. Received in revised form: November 24, 2009. Accepted: November 29, 2009. This paper describes a virtual reality (VR)-assisted robotic surgery simulator for bone surgery training. A trainee surgeon holds the haptic robot stylus and manipulates it three-dimensionally to interact with the virtual bone. The robotic simulator allows the trainee surgeon to...
متن کاملA Robust Controller with Online Authority Transformation for Dual User Haptic Training System
In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...
متن کاملReducing Driver Distraction with Touchpad Physics
Once the domain of purely physical controls such as knobs, levers, buttons, and sliders, the vehicle dash is rapidly transforming into a computer interface. This presents a challenge for drivers, because the physics-based cues which make traditional controls easy to operate with limited visual confirmation are absent on traditional screens. We investigate the addition of programmable physics-ba...
متن کاملStability and Performance of Haptic Displays: Theory and Experiments
In haptic simulation, a human operator kinesthetically explores a virtual environment. To achieve a virtual sense of touch, the human interacts with an active mechanical device, called a haptic display. This paper presents an approach to guarantee that this physical manmachine interface remains stable, while maximizing performance. The key element in ensuring stability is the virtual coupling n...
