Advanced, synthetic haptic virtual environments require textured virtual surfaces. We found that texturing smooth surfaces often reduces the system passivity margin of a haptic sim...
The driving force of our current research is the development of medical training systems using augmented reality techniques. To provide multimodal feedback for the simulation, hapt...
In this paper we present a novel approach for simulating the rigid body dynamics of a haptically manipulated object using implicit integration. Our formulation requires the linear...
We consider the following problem in haptics: information update from the virtual world is slow w.r.t. the local servo-loop rate of the haptic device, and the information transmis...
This paper addresses the problem of following an arbitrary path with a dissipative passive haptic display. Such a display has energetically passive actuators; all motive energy mu...
