When a human operator interacts with a virtual wall that is modeled as a virtual spring model, the lager the stiffness of the virtual spring is, the more realistic the operator feels that the virtual wall is. In the previous studies, it is shown that the maximum available stiffness of a virtual spring to guarantee the stability can be increased when the first-order-hold method is applied, however the effects of a human impedance on the stability are not considered. This paper presents the effects of a human impedance on stability of haptic system with a virtual spring and a first-order-hold (FOH) method. The human impedance model is modeled as a linear second-order system model. The relations between the maximum available stiffness of a virtual spring and the human impedance such as a mass, a damping and a stiffness are analyzed through the MATLAB simulation. It is shown that the maximum available stiffness is proportional to the square root of the human mass or damping respectively.

Based on the virtual stiffness model, the stiffness of a grasped object is characterized. Differing from the previous investigations, the effect of grasp force on the stiffness of a grasp is formulated in terms of additional stiffness, which is called additional stiffness in this paper, and it is addressed how this term affects the stability of a grasp. In addition, a method of controlling the stiffness of a grasp is proposed and validated by experiments using a two-fingered robot hand.

This paper presents the effect of a reflective force computed from a first-order-hold method on the stability of a haptic system. A haptic system is composed of a haptic device with a mass and a damper, a virtual spring, a sampler and a sample-and-hold. The boundary condition of the maximum virtual stiffness is analytically derived by using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion and the condition shows that the maximum virtual stiffness is proportional to the square root of the mass and the damper of a haptic device and also is inversely proportional to the sampling time to the power of three over two. The effectiveness of the derived condition is evaluated by the simulation. When the reflective forces are computed by using the first-order-hold method, the maximum available stiffness to guarantee the stability is increased several hundred times as large as when the zero-order-hold method is applied.

This paper presents the effect of data-hold methods on stability of haptic system with a virtual wall. When a human operator interacts with virtual wall, the lager the stiffness of the virtual wall is, the more realistic the operator feels that the virtual wall is. However, if the stiffness of the virtual wall becomes extremely large, the system may be unstable. When a virtual wall is designed, it is necessary to analyze the maximum available stiffness to guarantee a stable haptic interaction. The simulation model in this paper is developed based on the haptic device model, sampler, a virtual wall model, and data hold methods to compute the maximum stiffness for stability. The effectiveness of the simulation is evaluated through comparing the results of previous studies with the results of this simulation. In addition, the effects of two data hold methods, that is, zero-order hold (ZOH) and first-order hold (FOH) on the stability are analyzed and the values of the maximum available stiffness are compared through the simulation.

가상환경 속 가상 강체는 가상 스프링과 가상 댐퍼의 병렬구조로 모델링되며 가상 강체의 현실감을 증강시키기 위해서는 가상 모델로부터의 반력을 안정적으로 최대한 크게 제시해야 한다. 따라서 햅틱 인터페이스의 안정성을 유지시킬 수 있는 가상 스프링과 가상 댐퍼의 영역을 분석하여 가상 강체모델을 선정하는 것이 중요하다. 기존에는 영차홀드를 이용하는 시스템에 대해 안정성 영역이 분석되었으나, 본 논문에서는 일차홀드 방식과 가상 댐퍼를 이용하는 햅틱 시스템에 대한 안정성 영역을 분석한다. 안정적인 가상 댐퍼 영역의 경계값은 샘플링 주기와 반비례 관계를 가지며, 안정적인 가상 스프링 영역의 최대값은 샘플링 주기의 제곱에 반비례 관계를 갖는다. 그리고 그 최대값은 일차홀드 방식을 이용하여 기존의 영차홀드의 경우보다 약 110% 향상시킬 수 있다. 가상 댐퍼의 크기가, 일차홀드 방식에서의 안정적인 가상댐퍼 경계값의 약 50% 보다 작다면, 일차홀드를 이용함으로써 기존의 영차홀드의 경우보다 안정적인 가상 스프링의 영역을 수 배 더 크게 할 수 있다.

This paper presents the effects of the time delay on the stability of the haptic system that includes a virtual wall and a first-order-hold method. The model of a haptic system includes a haptic device model with a mass and a damper, a virtual wall model, a first-order-hold model and a time delay model. In this paper, the time delay is considered as the computational time delay that is assumed to be as much as the sampling time. As the time delay increases, the maximal available stiffness of a virtual wall model is reduced reversely. The relation among the time delay and the maximum available stiffness, the mass and the damper of the haptic device are analyzed using the MATLAB simulation.

This paper describes the dynamic characteristics of the joint structures in case of using the simplified beam model in the F. E. analysis. The modeling errors, when replace the shell with the beam, are investigated through F. E. normal modes analysis. Normal mode analysis were performed to obtain the natural frequencies of the L and T shaped joints with various type of channels. The results were analyzed to access the effects of the models on the accuracy of F.E. analysis by identifying the geometric factors which cause the error. The geometric factors considered are joint angle, channel length, thickness and area ratio of the hollow section to the filled one. The joint stiffness evaluation technique is developed in this study using normal modes analysis with Lumped Mass. With this method, the progressively improved results of F. E. analysis are obtained using the simplified beam model. The static and normal modes analysis are performed with the joint stiffness values obtained by the Kazunori Shimonkakis' virtual stiffness method and the proposed method and these simplified modeling errors are compared.

A technology that allows users to feel the elasticity of fabric through force feedback in the fashion and textile fields is very helpful to related manufacturing and sales areas. Currently bundle of fabrics, so called Swatch, is the only available way for the designer, manufacturer and the end-user to feel the fabrics. Images and video clips provide only visual characteristics, hence touch and stiffness are also very important characteristics to check beforehand. A study is conducted on a haptic device, which estimates the amount of change in the length of the virtual fabric and generates resistive force so that the user could feel the fabric stiffness. Since cables that can only transmit the tensile force are used, a force realization method is proposed, and it is verified numerically and experimentally.

This paper presents the effects of the computational time-varying delay on the stability of the haptic system that includes a virtual wall and a first-order-hold method. The model of a haptic system includes a haptic device model with a mass and a damper, a virtual wall model, a first-order-hold model and a computational time-varying delay model. In this paper, the maximum of the computational time-varying delay is assumed to be as much as the sampling time. Using the simulation, it is analyzed how the sample-hold methods and the computational time-varying delay affect the maximum available stiffness. As the maximum of computational time-varying delay increases, the maximal available stiffness of a virtual wall model is reduced.

햅틱 시스템에서 가상 벽의 스프링상수 (Kw)가 크면 클수록 사용자는 실제 벽처럼 느끼지만 햅틱 시스템은 그만큼 불안정해진다. 그래서 시스템의 안정성을 유지하면서 가상 벽에 대한 사용자 몰입감을 향상시키기 위해서 일차 홀드 방식을 이용한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 가상 벽 (virtual wall)로 구성된 가상 환경과 상호 작용할 때 일차홀드 (FOH) 방식을 이용하는 경우 햅틱 장치의 물성치인 질량 (Md)과 댐핑 상수 (Bd)가 시스템의 안정성에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 시스템의 안정성을 유지하는 가상 벽의 스프링 상수 (Kw)가 햅틱 장치의 질량 (Md)과 댐핑 상수 (Bd)의 제곱근에 비례한다는 것을 보이고, 이를 통해 기존의 영차홀드 (ZOH) 방식보다 큰 가상 스프링의 구현이 가능함을 보인다. 따라서 사용자의 몰입감 높은 햅틱 시스템 구현이 가능함을 보인다. 그리고 시뮬레이션 결과분석을 통해 시스템 안정성을 보장하는 가상 스프링 상수 (Kw)의 범위를 샘플링 주기 (T), 햅틱 장치의 질량 (Md), 댐핑 상수 (Bd)의 관계로 유도한 결과가 $K_w{\leq}{1.611M_d}^{0.50}{B_d}^{0.50}T^{-1.51}$ 임을 보인다. 이 때 시뮬레이션 결과와의 상대 오차가 평균 0.53%로 매우 작다.
