Abstract
Virtual fixtures are software generated movement-constraints used in teleoperation and cooperative robotic systems. As the name implies, virtual fixtures are not mechanical constraints of the robotic system or the environment with which the robotic system is in contact, but they are instead part of the control algorithms and are overlaid on the physical environment in the workspace of the robotic system. In teleoperation and cooperative systems the robotic device responds to movement commands of the human operator and the main purpose of the virtual fixtures is to guide or to confine movements commanded by the human operator.
