Soft objects are often desired in applications such as virtual surgery training. Soft object simulations are computationally intensive because object deformation involves numerica...
Force feedback is widely assumed to enhance performance in robotic surgery, but its benefits have not yet been systematically assessed. In this study we examine the effects of for...

In this paper, a new approach for navigation assistance through sets of volumetric data is presented. This innovative method uses force feedback in two dimensions to guide the use...
A novel haptic interface was designed and developed for use in manipulation tasks. The force feedback mechanism consists of three degrees of spatial force feedback (x, y, and z di...
Friction cancellation and high gain force feedback are studied for their relative benefits in mitigating the effects of friction in haptic interfaces. Although either technique a...
