DC Motor Damping: A Strategy to Increase Passive Stiffness of Haptic Devices
Abstract. Physically dissipative damping can increase the range of passive stiffness that can be rendered by a haptic device. Unlike simulated damping it does not introduce noise i...

Effects of Translational and Gripping Force Feedback are Decoupled in a 4-Degree-of-Freedom Telemanipulator
Many high-degree-of-freedom haptic devices and teleoperator systems either do not have grippers or do not provide force feedback in the gripper degree of freedom (DOF). The purpos...
