A novel haptic interface for extended range telepresence is presented that allows the user simultaneous wide area motion and haptic interaction in remote environments. To achieve an extended workspace, the haptic interface consists of a haptic manipulator for precise haptic rendering and a large portal carrier system that enlarges the workspace by prepositioning the end-effector. As the preposi...

This paper presents work carried out for a project to develop haptic technologies that includes finger/hand manipulation and locomotion. It is well known that sense of touch is inevitable for understanding the real world. The last decade has seen significant advance in development of haptic interface. However, methods for implementation of haptic interface are still in try-and-error. Compared t...
