Humans have the ability to convey an array of emotions through complex and rich touch
gestures. However, it is not clear how these touch gestures can be reproduced through …

We present the design and development of a fully immersive virtual reality (VR) system that
can provide prop-based haptic feedback in an infinite virtual environment. It is conceived as …

At the different stages of the PLM, companies develop numerous checklist-based
procedures involving prototype inspection and testing. Besides, techniques from CAD, 3D …

Haptic interfaces are a possible solution for the intuitive operation of machines. In this paper,
we present the implementation of an admittance control for a cable-driven parallel robot. The …

Grounded haptic devices can provide a variety of forces but have limited working volumes.
Wearable haptic devices operate over a large volume but are relatively restricted in the …

Cable-based visuo-haptic interfaces usually adopt simple structures, either being wearable
devices, like gloves or jackets, or grounded interfaces with fixed anchor points and many …

In this paper we evaluate ultrasound imaging as a human-machine interface in the context of
rehabilitation. Ultrasound imaging can be used to estimate finger forces in real-time with a …

Ground-based haptic devices provide the capability of adding force feedback to virtual
environments; however, the physical workspace of such devices is very limited due to the …

Haptic rendering is the process of computing and generating forces in response to user
interactions with virtual objects. Six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DoF) haptic rendering simulates …
