This paper proposes a new method for real-time rigid body simulations based on a volumetric penalty method. The penalty method, which employs spring-damper model, is a simple and ...
Haptic interfaces enable us to interact with virtual objects by sensing our actions and communicating them to a virtual environment. A haptic interface with force feedback capabil...
This research is focused on the development of a thermal display and understanding the nature of the thermal cues used to identify objects haptically. The objective of the present...
Haptic interface serves as an ideal context and platform for teaching both system dynamics and embedded control. At The University of Michigan, a traditional undergraduate mechani...
