X Abstract

Our group is interested in using haptic display for training tool use. Applications include training doctors to use tools during surgery, and training astronauts to use tools during EVA. This paper describes some of the challenges of creating realistic haptic perceptions of tool use. Many of these challenges stem from the importance of unilateral constraints during tool use. Unilateral constraints occur whenever rigid bodies collide, resisting the interpenetration of the bodies, but not holding the bodies together. To identify unilateral constraints, a tool/environment simulation must perform collision detection. To respond properly to a collision, the simulation must estimate the forces that ensue, and integrate the equations of motion. All of these computations must occur in real time, and the simulation as a whole must be stable (to ensure the user's safety). Approaches to these problems are described

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
