A Six Degree-Of-Freedom Haptic Device Based On The Orthoglide And A Hybrid Agile Eye

This paper is devoted to the kinematic design of a new six degree-of-freedom haptic device using two parallel mechanisms. The first one, called orthoglide, provides the translation motions and the second one, called agile eye, produces the rotational motions. These two motions are decoupled to simplify the direct and inverse kinematics, as it is needed for real-time control. To reduce the inert...

A New Six Degree-of-Freedom Haptic Device based on the Orthoglide and the Agile Eye

The aim of this paper is to present a new six degree-of-freedom (dof) haptic device using two parallel mechanisms. The first one, called orthoglide, provides the translation motions and the second one produces the rotational motions. These two motions are decoupled to simplify the direct and inverse kinematics, as it is needed for real-times control. To reduce the inertial load, the motors are ...

Six Degree-of Freedom Haptic Rendering for Dental Implantology Simulation

Training systems for dental implantology that are based on virtual reality need a precise haptic feedback with six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) This is particularly challenging when using real patient data for the jawbone and during the interactive simulation of drilling. In this paper, we present our simulator and two complementary contributions: The first one is a method for 6DoF haptic renderin...

Six-Degree-of-Freedom Haptic Display Using Localized Contact Computations

We present a six-degree-of-freedom haptic rendering algorithm using localized contact computations. It takes advantage of high motion coherence due to fast force update and spatial locality near the contact regions. We first decompose the surface of each polyhedron into convex pieces and construct bounding volume hierarchies for fast proximity queries. Once the objects are intersecting, the pen...
