The purpose of this study is to explore a safe, advanced, and environment-friendly demolition equipments and their operation methods. As an initial achievement, the capacity of the existing equipments have been evaluated through technical discussions and demonstrations with some experts in the related industry. From these evaluations, it was concluded that a haptic based remote control with force feed-back mechanism and sensor fusion functions would be the most appropriate to the demolition equipments. Therefore, a novel haptic device that is adequately designed for the demolition equipments is proposed in this paper. Top-down demolition method is also proposed, which is very effective in the demolition of high-rise buildings.

In this paper, we use VR technologies including touch processing technologies and haptic devices to offer touch of fish objects to users. The Omni, a kind of haptic device and made by Sensable Inc., is used to implement multi touch model in VR space. In addition, Matlab/Simulink and proSENSE Virtual Touch Toolbox of Handshake Inc., are used as programing tools. Functions needed to describe the movement of x, y, and z axis respectively are applied to delineate the natural movement of fish objects modeled with 3D. Such movements offer realistic physical interactions to two users controlling multi point respectively. In experiment, to perceive the appearance of 3D object by touch and to feel the respiration by touch are well conducted. We also verify that it is possible to develop games or contents through multi participation in VR Space by using multi point.

If a virtual object in a virtual environment represented by a stereo vision system could be touched by a user with some tactile feeling on his/her fingertip, the sense of reality would be heightened. To create a visual impression as if the user were directly pointing to a desired point on a virtual object with his/her own finger, we need to align virtual space coordinates and physical space coordinates. Also, if there is no tactile feeling when the user touches a virtual object, the virtual object would seem to be a ghost. Therefore, a haptic interface device is required to give some tactile sensation to the user. We have constructed such a human-computer interaction system in the form of a simple virtual reality game using a stereo vision system, a vibro-tactile device module, and two position/orientation sensors.

This paper proposes a structure of haptic collaboration system over high resolution tiled-display, and proposes a QoE (quality of experience) increase scheme in integrated system. Both haptic system and tiled-display system have requirements of computational power. A haptic device is unstable if haptic rendering rate is less than 1kHz, A requirement of tiled-display systeme is frame rate of display. It requires update of 30 frame fer sec. If we use these systems independently, we can satisfy each requirements. However, if we integrate two systems, performance of entire system significantly decreases because of lack of resources, and QoE of users also decrease. In this paper, therefore, we propose a QoE guaranty scheme which selectively allocates cpu resource between display update and haptic rendering. In order to increase QoE, we set a priority for visual and haptic in order to allocate more resource on visual or haptic. If a user sensitive about touch, then proposed scheme increases haptic rendering rate by allocating more resource. Otherwise a user more sensitive about visual than haptic, proposed scheme decreases haptic rendering rate and increases tiled-display update rate. Therefore, by selectively allocating limited cpu resource, proposed scheme guaranties QoE of both haptic and visual.

This paper proposes a mobile navigation system which haptically presents the way to go to visually impaired persons. In order to convey the tactile information to the visually impaired persons, we develop a new tactile module with a solenoid, a permanent magnet and an elastic spring. Furthermore, we suggest 2D vibration flow which originates from one point and gradually propagates to other points on a surface of the haptic navigation system. The tactile module and the vibration flow method are incorporated into the proposed haptic navigation system and they stimulate the user's finger pad and palm, respectively. We conduct experiments to investigate that the proposed navigation system haptically provides the direction to the users. From the experimental results, we verify that the proposed system can generate enough tactile sensation to guide the direction to go in real-time.

When using commercialized robot assisted laparoscopic, surgeon has met some problems to depend only on image of the surgical field. To solve it, there were various researches. The previous study showed that it is possible to estimate the operation force on the commercialized instrument inside patient without sensors. To apply the estimated force to a haptic master console for the laparoscopy surgical robot system, the light haptic master console should be designed. This paper suggests the design of lighter master console handle to reduce a weight of the console whose structure can match with the joint and DOF of an instrument. A cable-conduit mechanism is designed to make light structure to perform a delicate manipulation. The cable-conduit mechanism removes the weight and inertia of link caused by haptic actuator and encoder which is separated from handle link of a manipulator.

A virtual prototyping (VP) system provides realistic 3D images of product. A virtual prototype, however, can only be operated using traditional input device like keyboards or mice and cannot present physical interface of the product. This paper describes a haptic dial system for virtual prototyping, which integrates haptic effects with virtual user interface to facilitate product development. A user can interface the virtual prototype with the motor-driven haptic dial with feeling like operating mechanical dial. This system will help product designers sketch user interfaces during the whole stage of product design.

In this paper, we present the 3DOF force-rei1ecting interface which allows to acquire force of objc'Ct within a a virtual environment. This system is comlxlsed of device, virtual environment model, and force-rei1ecting r rendering algorithm. We design a J DOF force reflecting device using the pc$\alpha$allel linkage, torque shared by W wire, and the controller of system applied by impedance control algorithm. The force reflecting behaviour i implemented as a function position is equivalent to controlling the mechanical impedance felt by the user. E Especially how force should be supplied to user, we know using a God-Object algorithm As we experiment a system implement$\varepsilon$d by the interface of 3D virtual object and 3DOF force reJll'Cting i interface, we can feel a contact, non contact of :)D virtual object surface and sensin앙 of push button model.utton model.

In this paper, we present a design and an evaluation of a hand-held ball based haptic interface, named "TouchBall." Using a trackball mechanism, the device provides flexibility in terms of directional degrees of freedom. It also has an advantage of a direct transfer of force feedback through frictional touch (with high sensitivity), thus requiring only relatively small amount of inertia. This leads to a compact hand-held design appropriate for mobile and 3D interactive applications. The device is evaluated for the detection thresholds for directions of the force feedback and the perceived amount of directional force. The refined directionality information should combine with other modalities with less sensory conflict, enriching the user experience for a given application.
