- 研究成果概要
- This research aims to achieve wide range force/torque feedback in 6 DoF for haptic rendering device in a virtual reality environment using previously developed Series Clutch Actuator as force/torque setting element. The actuators are embedded in the joints of a 6 DoF robot arm with gravity compensation mechanism to cancel the influence of the weight of the arm itself. Algorithms to control the force/torque output of each clutch actuator by the controller duty cycle is developed as well as the algorithm to map end-effector force/torque (which is the user side haptic feedback) to each joint torque. Virtual reality environment is built and fed to the user as the visual feedback, adding the force/torque feedback from the physical robot arm, the haptic rendering system is achieved. This system can also facilitate as a master-slave remote control system when the virtual reality environment is replaced by a remote slave device, and this can be beneficial in devastating environments.
