Surface Contact Interaction with Dynamically Deformable Object Using Impulse-Based Approach
In our previous study, a method that allows dynamic interaction with an elastic object, which is called impulse response deformation model, has been proposed. An advantage of the m...

Extending the Z-Width of a Haptic Device Using Acceleration Feedback
Abstract. This paper proposes a nonlinear controller to extend the Zwidth of a haptic device. A time-domain passivity analysis of the Z-width diagram leads to the new haptic contro...

Haptic Search for Spheres and Cubes
If you have multiple objects in your pocket, some are easy to find among the other ones, for instance, when they differ much in material properties or shape. Information on which...

Does Judgement of Haptic Virtual Texture Roughness Scale Monotonically with Lateral Force Modulation?
Abstract. We describe experiments that compared the perceived relative roughness of textured virtual walls synthesized with an accurately controlled haptic interface. Texture was m...
