Fully-Isotropic Parallel Mechanisms - An Innovative Concept for Haptic Devices

  • Chapter
Product Engineering

In the early 1990s haptics emerge from virtual reality which is an advanced form of human-computer interaction (as opposed to keyboard, mouse and monitor) providing a virtual environment (VE) that we can explore through direct interaction with our senses. Haptics are emerging as effective interaction aids for improving the realism of virtual worlds. To be able interact with an environment, there must be feedback. For example, the user should be able to touch a virtual object and feel a response from it. This type of feedback is called haptic feedback [8, 9, 10, 64]. The confluence of several emerging technologies made virtualized haptics, or computer haptics, possible. Much like computer graphics, computer haptics enables the display of simulated objects to humans in an interactive manner. However, computer haptics uses a display technology through which objects can be physically palpated. This new sensory display modality presents information by exerting controlled forces on the human hand through a haptic interface (rather than, as in computer graphics, via light from a visual display device). These forces depend on the physics of me chanical contact. The characteristics of interest in these forces depend on the response of the sensors in the human hand and other body parts (rather than on the eye’s sensitivity to brightness, colour, motion, and so on). Unlike computer graphics, haptic interaction is bidirectional, with energy and information flows both to and from the user. The combination of high-performance force-controllable haptic interfaces, computational geometric modelling and collision techniques, cost-effective processing and memory, and an understanding of the perceptual needs of the human haptic system allow us to assemble computer haptic systems that can display objects of sophisticated complexity and behaviour.
