가상환경 기술이 발전하면서 보다 현실감 있는 가상환경을 구현할 수 있으나, 이를 사용하는 사용자 환경에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 사용자에게 전 시야를 제공해 줄 수 있는 CAVE 시스템을 구축하였으며, 보다 현실감 있는 조작을 위하여 사용자에게 힘의 정보를 전달하여 줄 수 있는 햅틱 암마스터를 채택하였다. CAVE와 햅틱 암마스터를 사용하여 가상물체를 보면서 접촉하거나 조작할 수 있는 가상환경을 구축하였다.

보다 현실감 있는 가상환경을 제공하기 위하여 시각정보 외에 힘의 정보를 사용자에게 제공할 필요가 있으며, 이러한 힘 반영은 햅틱장치에 의해서 수행된다. 일반적으로 영상 제시기에 의한 영상정보는 낮은 갱신율을 갖는 반면에, 햅틱장치는 상대적으로 높은 갱신율로 인간에게 힘정보를 제공하게 되므로, 이들 정보 간의 동기화가 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 가시모델의 원형을 일반화시켜서 햅틱장치에 전달하고, 영상 제시기의 갱신율과는 상관 없이 햅틱장치 내에서 임의의 구속공간을 만들어서 힘피드백을 수행하는 방법에 대해서 논의하고자 한다.

Due to difficulty in minimally invasive surgery, training simulator is actively researched. A volumetric deformable organ is created by employing a shape-retaining chain-linked (S-chain) model to realize positioning a human organ model in virtual space. Since the main principle of the S-chain algorithm is that the repulsive force is proportional to the number of chain elements, the calculation time can be increased according to the magnitude of deformation. In this work, the advanced S-chain algorithm is used to calculate the repulsive torque according to spin motion. Finally, haptic architecture was constructed using this S-chain model by incorporating the virtual organ with a real master device, which allows the repulsive force and target position to be transferred to each other. The control performance of S-chain algorithm has been evaluated via experiment.

In this research, a new type of haptic master device using electrorheological(ER) fluid for minimally invasive surgery(MIS) is devised and control performance of the proposed haptic master is evaluated. The proposed haptic master consists of ER bi-directional clutch/brake for 2 DOF rotational motion(X, Y) using gimbal structure and ER brake on the gripper for 1 DOF rotational motion (Z). Using Bingham characteristic of ER fluid and geometrical constraints, principal design variables of the haptic master are determined. Then, the generation of torque of the proposed master is experimentally evaluated as a function of applied field of voltage. A sliding mode controller which is robust to uncertainties is then designed and empirically realized. It has been demonstrated via experiment that the proposed haptic master associated with the controller can be effectively applied to MIS in real field conditions.

범용 가상환경 프레임워크 NAVER를 제안하고, 이를 케이브기반 가상현실환경에 적용하여 자동차 시제품 평가 실험에 활용한 사례를 소개한다. NAVER는 다양한 가상현실 어플리케이션을 구현하기 위한 가상환경 프레임워크로, 확장성이 뛰어나고 재구성이 가능하다. NAVER는 Render Server, Control Server, 그리고 Device Server로 구성되어 있으며, 각 서버는 네트워크로 상호 통신하여 각각의 기능을 수행한다. NAVER는 XML 기반 스크립팅 언어를 지원하여 사용자가 자유롭게 가상환경의 여러 가지 객체와 인터랙션을 정의할 수 있도록 설계되었다. NAVER를 케이브 기반 가상현실환경에 적용하여 자동자 시제품평가 실험에 활용하였다. KIST의 케이브 기반 가상현실환경은 4면의 정방형 스테레오 디스플레이 장치, 햅틱 암마스터 장비, 3차원 음향장비 등으로 구성되어 있어, 사용자에서 시각적인 측면에서 뿐만 아니라 촉각, 청각과 같은 여러가지 측면에서 다중현실감을 제시할 수 있다. 자동차 시제품 평가 실험를 통하여 사용자가 실제 자동차가 아닌 가상의 자동차 시제품을 관찰하고, 만져보고, 주행해 봄으로써 더욱 높은 몰입감과 현실감으로 자동차 조작장치의 조작성을 평가할 수 있음을 입증하였다.

This paper presents force-feedback control performance of a haptic device in virtual environment of minimally invasive surgery(MIS). As a first step, based on an electrorheological(ER) fluid and spherical geometry, a new type of master device is developed and integrated with a virtual environment of MIS such as a surgical tool and human organ. The virtual object is then mathematically formulated by adopting the shape retaining chain linked(S-Chain) model. After evaluating reflection force, computational time, and compatibility with real time control, the virtual environment of MIS is formulated by interactivity with the ER haptic device in real space. Tracking control performances for virtual force trajectory are presented in time domain, and theirtrackingerrorsareevaluated.

In this work, 4-DOF ER haptic master is proposed and integrated with a slave robot for minimally invasive surgery(MIS). Using a controllable ER fluid, the haptic master can generate a repulsive force/torque with the 4-DOF motion. For realization of master-slave robot system, the motion command of the haptic master is realized by slave surgery robot. In order to follow the 4-DOF motion of the haptic master, novel mechanism of slave surgery robot with gimbal joint is devised. Accordingly, the haptic master-slave robot system is established by incorporating the slave robot with the haptic master device in which the desired repulsive force/torque and position are transferred to each other via wireless communications. In order to obtain the desired force/torque and position trajectories, tracking controllers for haptic master and slave robot are designed and implemented, respectively. It has been demonstrated that the desired effective torque tracking control performance is well achieved using the proposed haptic master-slave robot system.
