The parallel-type mechanism provides more accurate and stiff motion than the serial-type mechanism. However, in case of using the haptic device, the performance of the force reflection can be deteriorated due to the singular points existing in workspace. In this paper, we propose a redundantly actuated parallel 3-DOF haptic device, which is singularity-free in the workspace and has an improved force reflection capability. In addition, we propose a new force distribution algorithm, which can reflect force of both high and low resolution, using two sets of actuator with different size. Redundant actuators are attached to the base frame in order to minimize the inertia of the system. Moreover, a wire and gear reduction system is employed to achieve high force reflection along with soft feeling. We confirm the performance of the force reflection capability throughout simulation.

This paper presents the effects of a virtual mass on the stability boundary of a virtual spring in the haptic system with first-order-hold. The virtual rigid body is modeled as a virtual spring and a virtual mass. When first-order-hold is applied, we analyze the stability boundary of the virtual spring through the simulation according to the virtual mass and the sampling time. As the virtual mass increases, the stability boundary of the virtual spring gradually increases and then decreases after reaching the maximum value. The results are compared with the stability boundary in the haptic system with zero-order-hold. When a virtual mass is small, the stability boundary of a virtual spring in the system with first-order-hold is larger than that in the system with zero-order-hold.

In a haptic interface system with a nanoscale virtual environment (NVE) using an atomic force microscope (AFM), impedance scaling is important. In order to explicitly derive the relationship between performance and impedance scaling factors, a nanoscale virtual coupling (NSVC) concept and a selection method of scaling factors of velocity (or position) and force are introduced. An available scaling factor region is represented based on Llewellyn's absolute stability criteria and the physical limitation of the haptic device. Experiments have been performed for tele-nanomanipulation tasks such as positioning, indenting and nanolithography with available force scaling factor in the NVE.

This paper presents a multiple degree-of-freedom (dof) energy bounding approach (EBA) to enhance directional transparency while guaranteeing stability for multiple-dof haptic interaction. It was observed that the passivity condition for multiple ports may lead to some oscillatory limit cycle behaviors in some coordinate directions even though the total sum of energy flow-in is positive, meaning that the system is passive. The passivity condition, therefore, needs to be applied to each coordinate in order to avoid oscillatory behavior by keeping each energy flow-in always positive. For guaranteeing passivity, which in turn, stability in each coordinates, the EBA is applied. For multiple-dof haptic interaction, however, the EBA in each coordinate may distort the direction of the force vector to be rendered since the EBA may cut down the magnitude of the force and torque vectors to be rendered in order to ensure the passivity. For avoiding this problem, a simple projection method is presented. The validity of the proposed algorithm is shown by several experiments.

체감 효과 (haptic effect)는 가상 환경에서의 실재감 부여를 위하여 중요시되고 있다. 반면, 가상 객체에 실재와 흡사하게 연동하는 기술은, 체감 효과의 모델링과 함께 렌더링 시간 둥의 문제 때문에 사용의 한계를 가진다. 본 논문에서는, 실시간 체감 효과를 위하여 필수적인 가상 객체와의 동기화 기법에 대하여 다룬다. 이를 위하여, 가상 객체에 작용하는 동역학적 움직임을 체감 효과에 대응되도록 하는 알고리즘을 제안하고, 이를 실시간 충들 처리와 연동함으로써 필요한 시간을 최소화 할 수 있음을 제시한다. 본 논문의 결과로는 캐릭터의 빈번한 제어에 대응되도록 체감 효과를 생성할 수 있음을 보이며, 안정적이면서 그럴 듯한 효과를 재현할 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper we propose a haptic interaction system that physically represents the underlying geometry of objects displayed in a 2D picture, i.e., a digital image. To obtain the object's geometry displayed in the picture, we estimate the physical transformation between the object plane and the image plane based on homographic information. We then calculate the rotated surface normal vector of the object's face and place it on the corresponding part in the 2D image. The purpose of this setup is to create a force that can be rendered along with the image without distorting the visual information. We evaluated the proposed haptic rendering system using a set of pictures of objects with different orientations. The experimental results show that the participants reliably identified the geometric configuration by touching the object in the picture. We conclude this paper with a set of applications.

This paper addresses both theoretical and experimental studies of the stability of haptic interfaces during the simulation of virtual Coulomb friction. The first objective of this paper is to present an analysis of how friction affects stability in terms of the describing function method and the absolute stability theory. Two different feedback methods are introduced and are used to evaluate the analysis: an active force feedback, using a motor, and a passive force feedback, using controllable brake. The second objective of this paper is to present a comparison of the theoretical and experimental results. The results indicate that the sustained oscillations due to the limit cycle occur when simulating friction with an active force feedback. In contrast, a passive force feedback can simulate virtual friction without the occurrence of instability. In conclusion, a hybrid active/passive force feedback is proposed to simulate a highly realistic friction display.

햅틱 협업을 위한 네트워크는 기본적으로 지연, 지터, 손실의 제약을 가진다. 햅틱은 정보의 속도에 민감하므로 네트워크 환경에서 협업을 이루어내기에 많은 제약이 있다. 특히 협업의 품질을 감소시키는 네트워크 지연을 보상하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 물체의 좌표 전송을 기반으로 한 햅틱 협업이 높은 수준의 지연시간을 지닌 네트워크에서 발생할 수 있는 문제를 정의하고 그 원인을 파악하여 안정적인 협업을 유지하기 위하여 네트워크 지연 문제를 보상할 수 있는 기법을 제시한다. 네트워크 지연에 의해서 물체를 밀 때 더 많은 힘을 사용되는 현상과 클라이언트들이 물체를 들어올릴 때 물체가 진동하는 현상이 발생된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 물체의 강도를 변경하는 방법을 제안한다. 지연 시간의 수준이 증가하여도 지연 문제가 발생하지 않게 함과 동시에 최대한 원래 물체 강도를 유지하기 위해서 클라이언트가 물체에 발생시키고자 하는 힘과 서버에서 물체에 발생시키는 힘을 같도록 만드는 수식을 유도한다. 이 수식을 이용하여 지연의 크기에 관계없이 클라이언트가 물체의 위치를 제어할 수 있다. 지연 보상 기법을 통해 햅틱 미디어의 품질을 유지하면서 지연에 의한 문제를 해결하는 방안을 제시하며, 실제 실험을 통하여 결과를 확인한다.

In this paper, a five degree-of-freedom haptic device is proposed. The proposed haptic device has a pen which is suspended by tensioned six strings. Human operator handles the pen. Six DC motors are used as actuators to generate tensions in six strings to make resultant force feedback at the pen to the human operator Six encoders are used for calculating the movement of the pen. A digital controller is used for generate control signals for the suitable tension in the six strings. A current amplifiers is used for amplifying the control signals. Cable-suspended system has advantages of structure simplicity (only with several strings driven by motors without using other tensioning mechanisms), low inertia, and high force-to-weight ratio. Pen-based system has advantages of compactness and ...
