...-driving assistance devices were added: a visual display on the midconsole and a force feedback system on the gas pedal, in order to apply an additionnal reaction torque on drivers’ foot. The feedback information was computed by comparing the car’s instant acceleration with an optimal acceleration level...

... full research papers and four technical notes in a wide range of topics related to haptics and tactile systems. Force feedback technology has also successfully made the jump from research labs to the commercial domain. Numerous commercially available products for gaming, cell phones and touch...

... explores the idea that the feedback forces can be designed not only to depend on a calculated error (i.e., force feedback) but also on the control device position (i.e., stiffness feedback). First, the fundamental properties of force and stiffness feedback are explained, and important parameters...

...Javier Martín; Joan Savall; Iñaki Díaz; Josune Hernantes; Diego Borro A new three degree-of-freedom (3DOF) torque feedback wrist is being developed to be added to an existing 3DOF force feedback haptic device. It is difficult to find a satisfactory solution to the mechanical design problem, mainly...

...James J. Troy; Charles A. Erignac; Paul Murray This paper describes a system for direct position and orientation control of remotely piloted aerial vehicles using haptic force feedback. Motion capture hardware is used to provide real-time position and orientation information to the closed-loop...

...Rasul Fesharakifard; Maryam Khalili; Laure Leroy; Alexis Paljic; Philippe Fuchs A grasp exoskeleton actuated by a string-based platform is proposed to provide the force feedback for a user’s hand in human-scale virtual environments. The user of this interface accedes to seven active degrees...

...Kostas Vlachos; Evangelos Papadopoulos This paper presents the analytical and experimental results on a new haptic telemanipulation environment for microrobot control. The proposed environment is comprised of a 5DOF force feedback mechanism, acting as the master, and a 2DOF microrobot, acting...

... cues: low-frequency (LF) force feedback and high-frequency (HF) force feedback. A human subjects study was performed with those two main factors: LF force feedback on/off and HF force (acceleration) feedback on/off. All experiments were performed using a three degree-of-freedom teleoperator where...

...Weihang Zhu This paper presents an infrastructure that integrates a haptic interface into a mainstream computer-aided design (CAD) system. A haptic interface, by providing force feedback in human-computer interaction, can improve the working efficiency of CAD/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM...

... that provide three degree of freedom (DOF) force feedback and 6DOF posture sensing. Details of five key functions of the system are given: (1) a rendering conversion that uses 3DOF (instead of five) force feedback haptic representation, (2) an efficient force feedback design that allows accurate results...

...Hakan Gurocak, ASME Member; Sankar Jayaram ,; Benjamin Parrish , and; Uma Jayaram, ASME Member The research presented in this paper is the design and implementation of a force feedback hand master called AirGlove. The device uses six ports arranged in a Cartesian coordinate frame setting to apply...

... or along the specified geometric element. In addition, the designers can get force feedback proportional to the modification quantity. To obtain a smoothly modified shape, we introduce correction functions to the given surface equations. A correction function distributes the effect of the change over...

..., digital, electronic-processor that controls a system that interacts with the environment. Case studies highlighting a force-feedback joystick and motor servo control with encoder feedback are presented to illustrate laboratory exercises that teach mechanical engineering students hardware-in-the-loop...
