TLDR
In this paper, a closed-loop, five member gimbal mechanism (46, 58, 48a, 48b, 50a and 50b) provides two revolute degrees of freedom to an object about two axies of rotation.Abstract:
A method and apparatus (25') for providing high bandwidth and low noise mechanical input and output for computer systems. A closed-loop, five member gimbal mechanism (46, 58, 48a, 48b, 50a and 50b) provides two revolute degrees of freedom to an object about two axies of rotation. A linear axis member (40) can be coupled to the gimbal mechanism at the axes' intersection and be translated along a third axis to provide a third degree of freedom. Transducers (42) associated with the provided degrees of freedom include sensors and actuators and provide an electromechanical interface between the objet (44) and a digital processing system (14). Capstan drive mechanisms (58) transmit forces between the transducers (42) and the object (44).read more

Patent
Method and apparatus for controlling force feedback interface systems utilizing a host computer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a host command protocol for controlling and providing force feedback using an interface device manipulated by a user and connected to a host computer system, where the host computer sends high level host commands to the local microprocessor and the microprocessor independently implements a local reflex process based on the high level command to provide force values to actuators using sensor data and other parameters.
