TLDR
The design rationale, novel kinematics and mechanics of the PHANToM, a device which measures a user’s finger tip position and exerts a precisely controlled force vector on the finger tip, are discussed.Abstract:
1. Abstract This paper describes the PHANToM haptic interface - a device which measures a user’s finger tip position and exerts a precisely controlled force vector on the finger tip. The device has enabled users to interact with and feel a wide variety of virtual objects and will be used for control of remote manipulators. This paper discusses the design rationale, novel kinematics and mechanics of the PHANToM. A brief description of the programming of basic shape elements and contact interactions is also given.read more

A constraint-based god-object method for haptic display
Craig Zilles,J.K. Salisbury +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a haptic rendering algorithm is proposed to generate convincing interaction forces for objects modeled as rigid polyhedra, called the god-object, which conforms to the virtual environment.

Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments
Richard Adams,Blake Hannaford +1 more
TL;DR: By decoupling the haptic display control problem from the design of virtual environments, the use of a virtual coupling network frees the developer of haptic-enabled virtual reality models from issues of mechanical stability.

The haptic display of complex graphical environments
TL;DR: This work has developed a haptic rendering system that allows for the efficient tactile display of graphical information and uses a common high-level framework to model contact constraints, surface shading, friction and tex ture.

Hand controller design requirements and performance issues in telerobotics
D.A. McAffee,Paolo Fiorini +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design and performance issues relevant to designers and users of hand controllers as a man-machine interface in telerobotic systems are discussed and quantified to facilitate a comparison among competing FRHC designs.
Response to reflected-force feedback to fingers in teleoperations
TL;DR: From the tests of the ability of a subject to exert a target force, reflected-force feedback can be achieved with the direct kinesthetic perception of force without the use of tactile or visual clues.
