Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Prototyping

Abstract

This paper analyzes the general requirements of Haptic Interfaces (HIs) for Virtual Prototyping operations. in particular two different paradigms of interaction with virtual objects are presented, respectively based on an anthropomorphic and a desktop Haptic interface. The main aspects of mechanical and control system design of His and force rendering in Virtual Environments are discussed too. The experiment results of the simulations conducted with a force feedback arm exoskeleton are presented, pointing out the current limits of the existing devices and outlining the future developments.
