A Method for Selecting Velocity Filter Cut-Off Frequency for Maximizing Impedance Width Performance in Haptic Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes the effect of velocity filtering cut-off frequency on the Z-width performance in haptic interfaces. Finite Difference Method (FDM) cascaded with a lowpass filter is the most commonly used technique for estimating velocity from position data in haptic interfaces. So far, there is no prescribed method for obtaining the FDM+filter cut-off frequency that will maximize the Z-width performance. We present a simulation based method to demonstrate that there exists such an ideal FDM+filter cut-off frequency, and that it can be predicted by numerical simulation. Experiments are conducted on a single degree-of-freedom linear haptic interface to validate the simulation results.

Evaluation of Velocity Estimation Methods Based on their Effect on Haptic Device Performance
This paper comparatively evaluates the effect of real-time velocity estimation methods on passivity and fidelity of virtual walls implemented using haptic interfaces. Impedance width, or Z-width is a fundamental measure of performance in haptic devices. Limited accuracy of velocity estimates from position encoder data is an impediment in improving the Zwidth in haptic interfaces. We study the e...

متن کاملFactors Affecting the Z-Width of a Haptic Display
This paper addresses the performance of force-reflecting interfaces (“haptic displays”). We suggest that an important measure of performance is the dynamic range of achievable impedances — “Z-Width” — and that an impedance is achievable if it satisfies a robustness property such as passivity. Several factors affecting ZWidth — sample-and-hold, inherent interface dynamics, displacement sensor qu...
متن کاملCut-off Grade Optimization for Maximizing the Output Rate
In the open-pit mining, one of the first decisions that must be made in production planning stage, after completing the design of final pit limits, is determining of the processing plant cut-off grade. Since this grade has an essential effect on operations, choosing the optimum cut-off grade is of considerable importance. Different goals may be used for determining optimum cut-off grade. One of...
