In this paper, we propose a new graphic deformation algorithm for haptic interface system. Our deformable model is based on non-linear elasticity, anisotropy behavior and the finite element method. Also we developed controller for high-speed communication. The proposed controller is based on the PCI/FPGA technology, which could progress the capability of the position calculating and the force data transmitting. The haptic system is composed of the 6DOF force display device, the high-speed controller, HIR library for 3D graphic deformation algorithm and the haptic rendering algorithm. The developed system will be used on constructing the dynamical virtual environment. We demonstrate the relevance of this approach for the real-time simulating deformations of elastic objects. To show the efficiency of our system, we programmed the simulation of force reflecting. As the result of experiment, we found that it has high stability and easy to control for deformable object than some other systems.

본 논문에서는 만질 수 있는 비디오를 위한 햅틱 렌더링 기술을 제안한다. 만질 수 있는 비디오 기술은 사용자로 하여금 햅틱 인터페이스를 이용하여 비디오 장면의 물체를 2D 또는 3D 객체 상태로 직접 조작하며 촉감을 느낄 수 있게 해주는 기술이다. 서버에서는 비디오와 햅틱 데이터, 3D 모델 객체의 정보를 전송한다. 클라이언트에서는 서버로부터 받은 비디오, 햅틱 데이터, 3D 모델을 렌더링 해준다. 또한 화면을 사각형의 작은 셀로 나누어 각각의 셀마다 촉감을 부여하는 방식을 사용한다. 촉감을 부여하기 위하여 각 셀에 고유한 느낌을 주는 경도(stiffness), 제동성(damping), 정적 마찰력(static friction), 동적 마찰력(dynamic friction) 값의 조합을 미리 정의해 놓았다. 본 기술을 이용하면 사용자는 화면을 직접 만지거나 화면 속의 물체를 3D 모델로 불러온 다음 이동, 크기 조절, 회전 등의 기능을 이용하여 사용자가 원하는 위치에서 촉감을 느끼면서 물체를 자세히 관찰할 수도 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 만질 수 있는 비디오를 위한 햅틱 렌더링 기술은 영화, 홈쇼핑 등의 비디오 콘텐츠에 대하여 시각적 효과, 청각적 효과와 더불어 촉각적 효과까지 제공하여 사용자 만족감을 극대화할 수 있다.

This paper presents design and analysis of a 6 degree-of-freedom new haptic device using a par-allel mechanism for interfacing with virtual reality. The mechanism is composed of three pantograph mecha-misms that, driven by ground-fixed servomotors. stand perpendicularly to the base plate. Three spherical joints connect the top of the pantograph with connecting bars, and three revolute joint connect connecting bars with a mobile joystick handle. Forward and inverse kinematic analyses have been performed and the Jacobian matrix is derived by using the screw theroy. Performance indices such as GPI(Global Payload Index), GCI(Global Conditioning index), Traslation and Orientation workspaces, and Sensitivity are evaluated to find optimal pa-rameters in the design stage. The proposed haptic mechanism has better load capability than those of the ex-isting haptic mechanisms due to the fact that motors are fixed at the base. It has also wider orientation work-space mainly due to RRR type spherical joints.

When using commercialized robot assisted laparoscopic, surgeon has met some problems to depend only on image of the surgical field. To solve it, there were various researches. The previous study showed that it is possible to estimate the operation force on the commercialized instrument inside patient without sensors. To apply the estimated force to a haptic master console for the laparoscopy surgical robot system, the light haptic master console should be designed. This paper suggests the design of lighter master console handle to reduce a weight of the console whose structure can match with the joint and DOF of an instrument. A cable-conduit mechanism is designed to make light structure to perform a delicate manipulation. The cable-conduit mechanism removes the weight and inertia of link caused by haptic actuator and encoder which is separated from handle link of a manipulator.

During the last decade, several Electronic Orientation Aids devices have been proposed to solve the autonomy problems of visually impaired people. When hearing is considered the primary sense for Visually Impaired people (VI) and it is generally loaded with the environment, the use of tactile sense can be considered a solution to transmit directional information. This paper presents a new wearable haptic system based on four motors implemented in shoes, while six directions can be played. This study aims to introduce an interface design and investigate an appropriate means of spatial information delivery through haptic sense. The first experiment of the proposed system was performed with 15 users in an indoor environment. The results showed that the users were able to recognize, with high accuracy, the directions displayed on their feet. The second experiment was conducted in an outdoor environment with five blindfolded users who were guided along 120 meters. The users, guided only by the haptic system, successfully reached their destinations. The potential of tactile-foot stimulation to help VI understand Electronic Orientation Aids (EOA) instructions was discussed, and future challenges were defined.

Characteristics of the swelling-induced wrinkles on the surfaces of natural rubber (NR) film were investigated. The wrinkle structure was generated by swelling of NR film pre-stretched and firmly bonded onto an aluminum substrate in hexane. A novel experimental method was adopted to replicate the swelling-induced wrinkles on the NR film using an epoxy-hardener system. To get insight into the wrinkle parameters; the wrinkle length (L), wrinkle distance (D), wrinkle height (H) and the angle between two consecutive wrinkles (${\theta}$), the cross-sections of the replicas obtained from saturated swollen NR film were examined using an optical microscopy (OM). From the OM images, the wrinkling parameters were measured as a function of the thickness of NR film from 0.42 to 1.76 mm. Also, it was evaluated that the effects of swelling time on the wrinkling parameters. The length (L), distance (D) and height (H) of wrinkles increased as the thickness of the NR film and the swelling time increased. However, the angle between the wrinkles (${\theta}$) showed a sharp decrease up to a swelling time of 200 minutes and slightly decreased afterwards.

Virtual reality (VR) opened the possibility of moving beyond the 2-D world of conventional desktop systems to an immersive, multi-sensory environment generated by computer graphics. Haptic feedback (Haptics) is now starting to get recognition and use in intensive applications for manipulation, while smell and taste feedback are at the stage of early research. This paper reviews some current works on increased haptic feedback augmentation in virtual reality applications.

본 논문은 난타 음악과 상호작용하는 햅틱 포스 피드백기술의 활용 가능성을 조사했다. 촉감처리기술을 포함하는 VR기술과 사용자에게 원기둥 객체들과 컵 객체의 터치를 제공하는 햅틱 디바이스를 사용했다. 햅틱 디바이스는 VR 공간에서 터치 모델을 이용하는데 활용되었다. 실험을 위한 Matlab/Simulink와 Handshake의 proSENCE Virtual Touch Toolbox는 프로그램 툴로 사용되었다. 각각 x, y, z축의 움직임을 나타내는데 필요한 함수는 3D로 모델화한 컵속에 물의 자연스런 움직임을 묘사하도록 적용했다. 컵속의 정해진 물의 양은 다른 소리를 갖는다. 실험에서 3D 객체의 외형을 인지하는 것과 터치에 의해서 촉감을 느끼는 것은 Haptic의 인지와 함께 난타음악과 연결하여 표현되었다. 또한, 포인터를 활용해서 VR공간에서 게임이나 콘텐츠 개발이 가능함을 확인하였다.
