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...
In this paper we describe our efforts to develop a new strategy for providing assistance using haptics in a virtual environment when training for a motor skill. Using a record and...
This paper presents a method for building analytical contact models for soft fingers. Friction constraints are derived based on general expressions for non-planar contacts of ela...

We are developing a novel sensing device named “3-dimensional capture sheet (3DCS)”. The cloth-like sheet measures its own 3D configuration. The sheet enables us to make a sof...
-- A methodology for studying the effect of vibrations generated by a haptic interface on upper limb is introduced. In the proposed methodology, a subject presses on a horizontally...
