Design of Life-Size Haptic Environments
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 7th International Symposium on Experimental Robotics (ISER '00), pp. 461 - 470, December, 2000
Abstract
Brake-actuated haptic devices, a subset of passive haptic devices, are not yet common, so their capabilities and limitations are only superfi cially understood. In this paper, we identify an optimal kinematics, and introduce a prototype of a life-size brake-actuated haptic device. With the new device, we conducted experiments with human subjects to evaluate the effi cacy of passively created virtual environments. We identifi ed key performance drawbacks that modern robotics theories fail to anticipate and overcome, and investigated design methods that can avoid such drawbacks.
