Real-time evaluation of distributed contact forces for rigid or deformable 3D objects is important for providing multi-sensory feedback in emerging real-time applications, such as...
Two methods have been used extensively to model resting contact for rigid body simulation. The first approach, the penalty method, applies virtual springs to surfaces in contact to...
The manipulation of fast moving, delicate tissues in beating heart procedures presents a considerable challenge to the surgeon. A robotic force tracking system can assist the surge...

Current manufacturing methods for robotic-controlled assembly rely on accurate positioning to ensure task completion, often through the use of special xtures and precise calibrati...
We have implemented a computer interface that renders synchronized auditory and haptic stimuli with very low (0.5ms) latency. The audio and haptic interface (AHI) includes a Panto...
