  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

$\textbullet$ A noval haptic mouse system is developed for human computer interface. $\textbullet$ Five bar mechanism is adapted for 2 dof force feedback with virtual environment. $\textbullet$ Double prismatic joint type mechanism is adapted to reflect 1 dof grabbing force feedback. $\textbullet$ Cable driven mechansim is used for actuation to reduce backlash and endow backdrivability. $\textbullet$ Virtual wall perception experiment is conducted to obtain force specification for haptic mouse. $\textbullet$ Average mouse workspace is measured using magnetic position tracker.
