Haptics, Robotics and Prototyping in Medicine
Haptic Systems
- Several Approaches - Two Important Components in
Common - Software to determine the forces - A device through which these forces
can be applied
Process
-The process of haptic rendering -Force- Reflecting haptic devices - Haptic Rendering can be defined as:
Rendering Method
3D Models
- Accurately Portray - Calculate - Evaluate - Texture
Interface
-Interface Device - Analagous
Specific Haptic Systems
-The Phantom -Free Form Systems -EpiSim - Movement Therapy -Robotic or Telesurgery - Immersive Touch
The Phantom
Stylus – Force Feedback
- Stylus connected to a lamp-like arm - Pressure - Feel - Elasticity - Solidity - Texture, temperature and weight
