Abstract— In this paper, two problems related to the simulation of virtual environments for haptic systems are considered. The first problem is how to simulate, in discrete time...
— This paper presents an approach for producing virtual fixture based on simulated plasticity, which can be used for assisting precise manual manipulations performed by human us...
Tool-type haptic interfaces such as scissors are used to present force feeling for surgical training in virtual reality environment. Presentation of force feelings of plural tools...
Abstract. This paper describes a preliminary work devoted to the design of a control architecture for a defective haptic interface, i.e. an underactuated haptic interface not able ...
