Wave Haptics: Encoderless Virtual Stiffnesses

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics ((STAR,volume 28))

Abstract

Haptic rendering commonly implements virtual springs using DC motors with current amplifiers and encoder-based position feedback. In these schemes, quantization, discretization, and delays all impose performance limits. Meanwhile the amplifiers try to cancel the electrical motor dynamics, which are actually beneficial to the haptic display.
