This article is the first of a two-part series intended as an introduction to haptic interfaces.
Together they provide a general introduction to haptic interfaces, their construction, and …

This paper presents a new type of haptic device using spherical geometry. The basic idea of
haptic devices is to provide users with feedback information on the motion and/or force that …

We present the kinematics, optimal dimensional synthesis, series-elastic actuation, control,
characterization and user evaluation of A ssist O nA nkle, a reconfigurable, powered …

A nonlinear proportional integral derivative (N-PID) algorithm in linkspace is proposed to
realise high precision tracking control of a general six-DOF parallel manipulator. In practice …

A new 6-DOF parallel haptic device is developed and presented in this paper. The haptic
device consists of two 3-DOF parallel structures connected with a steering handle. The …

Continuum robots are increasingly used in medical applications and the master–slave-
based architectures are still the most important mode of operation in human–machine …

A haptic interface recreates haptic feedback from virtual environments or haptic
teleoperation systems that engages the user's sense of touch. High-fidelity haptic feedback …

Compared with conventional parallel manipulators with serial kinematic chains supporting a
nonflexible platform, generalized parallel mechanisms may be further constrained by …

Force-feedback devices, along with virtual reality, are being studied for applications related
to entertainment and rehabilitation. These devices generally comprise either direct drive …
