The goal of haptic rendering is to enable a user to touch, feel, and manipulate virtual objects
through a haptic interface. With the introduction of high-fidelity haptic devices (see chap. 5 …

In this letter, teleoperation controller design for haptic exploration and telemanipulation of
soft environments is studied. First, a new measure for fidelity in teleoperation is introduced …

Object manipulation with the hand is a complex task. The task has redundancies at many
levels, allowing many possibilities for the selection of grasp points, the orientation and …

Current input technologies for wearable computers are difficult to use and learn and can be
unreliable. Physical interfaces offer an alternative to traditional input methods. In this paper …

Despite the fact that conventional haptic interfaces and rendering algorithms commonly
approximate interactions with force only, the dynamic effects of even simple tasks, eg, writing …

This paper presents a quantitative comparison framework for bilateral teleoperation systems
(BTSs) that have different dynamic characteristics and sensory configurations for a given …

Previous analyses of the mechanical impedance of the upper limb have often focused either
on quasi-static stiffness measurements or arm level motions and dynamics. In this thesis, we …

A Novel maglev-based haptic platform was deployed to investigate the effects of torque
feedback and stylus type on human roughness perception. For this purpose, two haptic …

A haptic display provides the mechanical analog of a physical environment for our sense of
touch in a virtual reality (VR) simulation system. In this dissertation, we explore the design …

This chapter aims to give a brief overview on the complexity that is typical of hand motor
control studies. Starting from biomechanical hand models to recent theories on motor control …
