A haptic interface is a kinesthetic link between a human operator and a virtual environment. This paper addresses stability and performance issues associated with haptic interaction. It generalizes and extends the concept of a virtual coupling network, an artificial connection between a haptic display and a virtual world, to include both the impedance and admittance models of haptic interaction...

One of most interesting aspects in haptic research deals with the extension of application workspace, thus allowing haptic simulation within large virtual environments. Several devices have been realized that allow this kind of interaction, in particular our interest focuses on mobile haptic interfaces, realized by combining classic grounded haptic devices with mobile platforms. While grounded ...

In haptic simulation, a human operator kinesthetically explores a virtual environment. To achieve a virtual sense of touch, the human interacts with an active mechanical device, called a haptic display. This paper presents an approach to guarantee that this physical manmachine interface remains stable, while maximizing performance. The key element in ensuring stability is the virtual coupling n...

Purpose of the study: Haptic technology, which can qualitatively expand virtual or augmented reality experiences beyond sensation ear and eye, is realized by electrical mechanical stimulation afferent nerves mechanoreceptors. In this review, researchers highlight biological basis for suggest advanced direction in electric tactile-based haptic system using low impedance materials.

Recent research in haptic systems has begun to focus on the generation of textures to enhance haptic simulations. Synthetic texture generation can be achieved through the use of stochastic modeling techniques to produce random and pseudo-random texture patterns. These models are based on techniques used in computer graphics texture generation and textured image analysis and modeling. The goal f...

Our project is based on our proposed haptic primary color theory, and our aim is to construct an intelligent information environment that is both visible and tangible, and integrates real-space communication, a human–machine interface, and media processing. We have succeeded in transmitting fine haptic sensations such as material texture and temperature from an avatar robot’s fingers to a human...

In this paper we investigate a use of haptics for skills training which we call haptic guidance. In the haptic guidance paradigm, the subject is physically guided through the ideal motion by the haptic interface, thus giving the subject a kinesthetic understanding of what is required. Subjects learned a complex 3D motion under three training conditions (haptic, visual, haptic and visual) and we...

HIRO (Haptic Interface RObot) is a new device that enables users to interact and feel the virtual object safely. Hand interaction with virtual object requires a more elaborated model than the Haptic Interaction Point (HIP) due to the complex shape of the virtual hand. This paper describes a general haptic rendering of 3D object for hand interaction that takes in consideration the real shape and...
