This paper proposes a novel type of tactile device utilizing magnetorheological(MR) fluid which can be applicable for haptic master of minimally invasive surgery(MIS) robotic system. The salient feature of the controllability of rheological properties by the intensity of the magnetic field(or current) makes this potential candidate of the tactile device. As a first step, an appropriate size of the tactile device is designed and manufactured via magnetic analysis. Secondly, in order to determine proper input magnetic field the repulsive forces of the real body parts such as hand and neck are measured. Subsequently, the repulsive forces of the tactile device are measured by dividing 5 areas. The final step of this work is to obtain desired force in real implementation. Thus, in order to demonstrate this goal a neuro-fuzzy logic is applied to get the desired repulsive force and the error between the desired and actual force is evaluated.

This paper presents a measurement system for 3D hand-drawn gesture motion. Many pen-type input devices with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) have been developed to estimate 3D hand-drawn gesture using the measured acceleration and/or the angular velocity of the device. The crucial procedure in developing these devices is to measure and to analyze their motion or trajectory. In order to verify the trajectory estimated by an IMU-based input device, it is necessary to compare the estimated trajectory to the real trajectory. For measuring the real trajectory of the pen-type device, a PHANToMTM haptic device is utilized because it allows us to measure the 3D motion of the object in real-time. Even though the PHANToMTM measures the position of the hand gesture well, poor initialization may produce a large amount of error. Therefore, this paper proposes a calibration method which can minimize measurement errors.

This paper describes the developments to improve the feeling and safety of the remote control system of unmanned vehicles. Generally, in the case of the remote control systems, a joystick-type device or a simple steering-wheel are used. There are many cases, in which there are operations without considering the feedback to users and driving feel. Recently, as the application area of the unmanned vehicles has been extended, the problems caused by not considering the feedback are emphasized. Therefore, the need for a force feedback-haptic control arises to solve these problems. In this study, the force feedback-haptic control algorithm considering the vehicle parameters is proposed. The vehicle parameters include first the state variables of dynamics, such as the body side-slip angle (${\beta}$) and yawrate (${\gamma}$), and second, the parameters representing the driving situations. Force feedback-haptic control technology consists of the algorithms for general and specific situations, and considers the situation transition process. To verify the algorithms, a simulator was constructed using the vehicle dynamics simulation tool with CAN communication environment. Using the simulator, the feasibility of the algorithms was verified in various scenarios.

정보화 산업의 급속한 발전을 통하여 무수히 많은 양의 정보들이 디지털화되어 왔고, 이러한 정보를 인식하기 위해서 인간은 멀티미디어나 컴퓨터를 통해 디지털화된 환경에 접속하게 되는데, 이는 시각과 청각을 통해 디지털화된 정보를 인간에게 전달하여 준다 이러한 시각과 청각을 이용한 정보 입출력 장치를 장시간 사용할 경우 정신적으로나 육체적으로 피곤함［l］과 지루함을 느끼게 되고, 장시간 사용이후에도 외부환경에 대한 반응이 일순간 둔감해질 수도 있다.(중략)

햅틱장치는 가상환경이나 원거리에 있는 환경과 사용자가 상호 작용할 매 촉감이나 힘을 전달하는 장치이다. 사용자에게 힘을 제시하기 위한 액츄에이터는 모터와 브레이크가 많이 사용되는데, 각각의 특성에 맞게 제어하여 성능과 안정성을 동시에 만족시켜야 한다 모터와 같은 능동 액츄에이터는 토크를 원하는 방향으로 쉽게 출력할 수 있지만, 동작 중 불안정한 상태가 발생할 수 있다. 반면에 브레이크와 같은 수동 액츄에이터는 회전에 반대되는 방향으로만 토크를 발생시킬 수 있지만, 동작 중 에너지를 계속 소모하기 때문에 시스템이 본질적으로 안정하다.(중략)

In this paper, We introduce the glove mouse using a Gyroscope, acceleration sensor, Pin-type Viboratctile Display Device and USB HID. The device recognize a user's wrist by Gyroscope and acceleration sensor in the glove and transmit the data to USB dongle which is recognized the manufactured mouse by Blutooth. Also, using a special application, We transmit the tactile information to user through the Pin-type Vibrotactile Display. We implement wearable system in the glove except USB device. If user want to use general spatial mouse, we recognize mouse USB dongle only without another application. If user want to feel the tactile sensationn, we can use by connecting PC serial communication port to USB dongle.

In this paper, we suggest an integrated tactile display system that provides kinesthetic force, pressure distribution, vibration and slip/stretch. The system consists of two parts: a 2 DOF force feedback device for kinesthetic display and a tactile feedback device for displaying the normal stimulation to the skin and the skin slip/stretch. Psychophysical experiments measure the effects of fingerpad selection, the direction of finger movements and the texture width on tactile sensitivity. We also investigate the characteristics of lateral finger movement while subjects perceive different textures. From the experimental results, the principal parameters for designing a tactile display are suggested. A tactile display device, using eight piezoelectric bimorphs and a linear actuator, Is implemented and attached to a 2 DOF translational force feedback device to simultaneously simulate the texture and stiffness of the object. As a result, we find out that the capability of the suggested device is sufficient to display physical quantities to display the texture.

In this paper, the virtual-reality system is tried to developed, which controls not only the sense of sight and hearing but also the sense of touch, In order to develope the sense of touch in this study, the stable tactual transaction-system, based on summing up the basic algorithm and theory, is embodied. The hardware of this system consists of the 6DOF haptic interface, a controller and a driver In the case of the software, the proxy algorithm is applied for the force-transaction and the mopping algorithm is used for graphic transaction. In addition to this, the imaginary-device driver is utilized for controlling the system and manager-class is also included in this system to manage the position-change and the like. Consequently, the proxy algorithm Is applied, which makes the system possible to be more stable and prompt with and imaginary object. Moreover, the impulse-algorithm is applied to work out a problem which the tactual transaction-period is different from the graphic transaction-period.
