Linear Induction Actuators for a Haptic Interface: A Quasi-Perfect Transparent Mechanism

This article describes the design of a high-fidelity haptic interface based on a three-axis induction system. Unlike other type of actuators, linear induction motors can provide simultaneously a non-contact drive and a very low inertia. Their …

Optimizing Transparency of Haptic Device through Velocity Estimation

In this paper, the conception and optimization of a new dual-stage haptic device is described. A particular attention is given to the choice of encoder. Compact, consumer grade, but low resolution encoders are particularly used. An issue arising from …
