Cooperative elastic object manipulation performed by virtual joystick operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a virtual manipulation environment dealing with elastic objects. An original fast computation elastic model ‘the gradational resolution model’ is introduced for real-time interaction, in which the number of elastic elements are efficiently reduced for acceleration. Joystick force feedback is used for sensible interaction. Two kinds of collision algorithms are examined by joystick operation. Finally, virtual manipulation can be implemented, such as pushing elastic objects against the wall with a joystick, pinching and lifting up elastic objects with a pair of joysticks.

An Empirical Study on Two-Handed/Collaborative Virtual Assembly
This paper describes an empirical study on object assembly in a virtual environment. The study evaluates the effectiveness and correlation of the following two manipulation supporting methods: “discrete placement constraints” and “collision avoidance” in both two-handed and collaborative virtual objects assembly. The results show that discrete placement constraints need practice to handle objec...
متن کاملObject Manipulation Using Cooperative Mobile Multi-Robot Systems
Transportation of large objects or their manipulation in hazardous environments are tasks where the utilization of groups of mobile robots working in a cooperative fashion can be of great advantage. To execute such tasks, a multirobot formation control framework is necessary in order to coordinate the motions of the robots in the group. In this article, a particular formation control approach c...
متن کاملManipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach
Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...
متن کاملfamiliarity restores active advantage in a virtual exploration and reconstruction task in children
Active exploration is better than passive observation of spatial displacements in real environments, for the acquisition of relational spatial information by children. However, a previous study using a virtual environment (VE) showed that children in a passive observation condition performed better than actives. The active children were unpractised in using the input device, which may have detr...
متن کاملHuman-Robot Cooperative Manipulation Using a Virtual Nonholonomic Constraint
A robotic assistance system is presented which enables a human to handle unwieldy long objects by providing only one point of support. The robot grasps one end of the object and helps the human operator carry it at the other end. The proposed control method uses a virtual nonholonomic constraint. The movement of the object is constrained as if it were being carried on a wheel attached to the ob...
