ActivePaD surface haptic device

2012 IEEE Haptics Symposium (HAPTICS), 2012
We present a new surface haptic interface that combines a variable friction device (the Large Area TPaD) with an impedance controlled planar mechanism. This device configuration is novel because it allows control of the frictional force in the static friction regime, control of the direction of force in the kinetic friction regime, as well as a degree ...

Haptic Device in Endoscopy

2014
Access to organs and tissues is limited during endoscopy. Information about mechanical properties of tissues received during an operation is a key factor for deciding the scale of surgery and further treatment strategy. A new device developed at Lomonosov Moscow State University determines the visco-elastic properties of tissues and presents them in a ...

Proxy-based haptic rendering for underactuated haptic devices

2017 IEEE World Haptics Conference (WHC), 2017
Standard haptic rendering algorithms are not well suited for underactuated haptic devices. They compute forces oblivious of underactuation, and then they simply project the resulting forces to the actuated subspace. We propose instead a proxy-based haptic rendering method that computes displacements in the actuated subspace only, and then translates ...

On utilizing pseudo-haptics for cutaneous fingertip haptic device

2014 IEEE Haptics Symposium (HAPTICS), 2014
In this paper, we explore possible utility of pseudo-haptics for the cutaneous fingertip haptic device, whose performance is inherently limited due to the lack of kinesthetic feedback. We experimentally demonstrate that: 1) pseudo-haptics can render virtual stiffness to be more rigid or softer only by modulating visual cue; 2) pseudo-haptics can be ...

Haptic interfaces and devices

Sensor Review, 2004
Haptic interfaces enable person‐machine communication through touch, and most commonly, in response to user movements. We comment on a distinct property of haptic interfaces, that of providing for simultaneous information exchange between a user and a machine.

CombX: Design of a Haptic Device for Teleoperation

2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2018
A haptic device which can provide force and torque outputs is preferred in teleoperation, virtual reality, etc. The dilemma for researchers is that such a haptic device is not easily accessible: the commercial products are expensive to buy, while the state-of-the-art research prototypes are difficult to reproduce outside the original laboratories. This

Design and Evaluation of a Linear Haptic Device

Proceedings 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2007
The commercial development of haptic devices is very promising. Existing systems are often 6-degree-of-freedom mechanisms equipped with a stylus that acts as a tool. They exhibit force feedback for 3 or 6 degrees of freedom of their end-effector, depending on whether only forces or both forces and torques are rendered. Some planar devices are also used

The Design and Implementation of Ubiquitous Haptic Device

First Joint Eurohaptics Conference and Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environment and Teleoperator Systems, 2005
In this paper, we propose a new type of haptic device named "ubiquitous haptic device". In this idea, several devices in ubiquitous environment have a capability of displaying haptic sensation. And user can interact these devices via sensation of touch and force. This is same as handling the ordinary tools with the feedback of haptic sensation.

A system identification technique for haptic devices

Proceedings of 2005 IEEE Conference on Control Applications, 2005. CCA 2005., 2005
The number of unknown parameters in a high degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot makes traditional identification techniques difficult to implement. A non-conventional system identification method is proposed to model the Freedom 6S, a force feedback hand controller with 6 DOF.

Identification process dedicated to haptic devices

2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007
The haptic interfaces aim at the user's immersion in virtual environments through the stimulation of the haptic sense. Most devices consist of an articulated mechanical structure introducing distortions between the operator and the explored world. This distortion must be identified in order to assess the quality of the interface. The least-squares (LS)
