Abstract
In this chapter, the physical evaluation methods described in Chap. 4 are demonstrated on a two degrees-of-freedom haptic interface for surgical simulation. Since the whole physical evaluation methodology is very extensive and often requires special equipment, only some methods that are necessary to characterize the haptic interface are discussed here. After applying these methods, the physical evaluation of the haptic interface provided very useful information about the design and showed the points that need to be improved. This chapter is partially based on Samur et al. (IEEE Trans. Haptics, 2011, doi:10.1109/TOH.2011.70).
