Virtual DesignWorks—designing 3D CAD models via haptic interaction

Haptic devices (force feedback interfaces) show great promise for use in the design of CAD models. However, current haptic systems are used primarily to verify rather than to interact with CAD systems to design a model.The paper discusses a haptic-based CAD system—Virtual DesignWorks. It is the world's first haptic application for the design of CAD models based on component technology (COM+). With haptic devices, the system allows engineers, in virtual space, to directly touch a native B-Rep CAD model, and deform it by pushing, pulling and dragging its surfaces in a natural three-dimensional environment. Virtual DesignWorks adopts the novel COM-based haptic model, which demonstrates significant advantages compared to the traditional haptic models. Force feedback gives designers the greatest flexibility for the design of complex surfaces, and haptics has the potential to become a critical interface for design applications.     

Force modeling for tooth preparation in a dental training system

Feedback force is very important for novices to simulate tooth preparation by using the haptic interaction system (dental training system) in a virtual environment. In the process of haptic simulation, the fidelity of generated forces by a haptic device decides whether the simulation is successful. A force model computes feedback force, and we present an analytical force model to compute the force between a tooth and a dental pin during tooth preparation. The force between a tooth and a dental pin is modeled in two parts: (1) force to resist human’s operation and (2) friction to resist the rotation of the dental engine. The force to resist the human’s operation is divided into three parts in the coordinates that are constructed on the bottom center of the dental pin. In addition, we also consider the effects of dental-pin type, tooth stiffness, and contact geometry in the force model. To determine the parameters of the force model, we construct a measuring system by using machine vision and a force/torque sensor to track the human’s operations and measure the forces between the dental pins and teeth. Based on the measuring results, we construct the relation between the force and the human’s operation. The force model is implemented in the prototype of a dental training system that uses the Phantom as the haptic interface. Dentists performing virtual operations have confirmed the fidelity of feedback force.     

Layered rhombus-chain-connected model for real-time haptic rendering

The modeling and simulation of deformable objects is a challenging topic in the field of haptic rendering between human and virtual environment. In this paper, a novel and efficient layered rhombus-chain-connected haptic deformation model based on physics is proposed for an excellent haptic rendering. During the modeling, the accumulation of relative displacements in each chain structure unit in each layer is equal to the deformation on the virtual object surface, and the resultant force of corresponding springs is equivalent to the external force. The layered rhombus-chain-connected model is convenient and fast to calculate, and can satisfy real-time requirement due to its simplicity. Experimental study in both homogenous and non-homogenous virtual human liver and lungs based on the proposed model are conducted, and the results demonstrate that our model provides stable and realistic haptic feeling in real time. Meanwhile, the display result is vivid.     

Six degree-of-freedom haptic rendering using spatialized normal cone search

This paper describes a haptic rendering algorithm for arbitrary polygonal models using a six degree-of-freedom haptic interface. The algorithm supports activities such as virtual prototyping of complex polygonal models and adding haptic interaction to virtual environments. The underlying collision system computes local extrema in distance between the model controlled by the haptic device and the rest of the scene. The haptic rendering computes forces and torques on the moving model based on these local extrema. The system is demonstrated on models with tens of thousands of triangles and developed in an accessibility application for finding collision-free paths.

A haptic-rendering technique based on hybrid surface representation

A novel haptic rendering technique using a hybrid surface representation addresses conventional limitations in haptic displays. A haptic interface lets the user touch, explore, paint, and manipulate virtual 3D models in a natural way using a haptic display device. A haptic rendering algorithm must generate a force field to simulate the presence of these virtual objects and their surface properties (such as friction and texture), or to guide the user along a specific trajectory. We can roughly classify haptic rendering algorithms according to the surface representation they use: geometric haptic algorithms for surface data, and volumetric haptic algorithms based on volumetric data including implicit surface representation. Our algorithm is based on a hybrid surface representation - a combination of geometric (B-rep) and implicit (V-rep) surface representations for a given 3D object, which takes advantage of both surface representations.     

Virtual prototyping of a car turn-signal switch using haptic feedback

The present work describes the virtual prototyping procedure of car turn-signal switches using a dedicated haptic feedback system. Although turn-signal switches have mechanisms with simple geometry, simulating the “feeling” during its operation is still a challenge. In order to allow ergonomics designers to directly assess the comfort of operation, a dedicated haptic system was developed for reproducing the force feedback that would characterize a real turn-signal switch. For the accurate haptic feedback generation and rendering purpose, a detailed computer-aided design model of the switch was developed together with a multibody simulation. For the design purpose a novel method for the synthesis of the cam mechanism was also developed, starting from an imposed force profile that was previously validated on the haptic device, for which the cam geometry is determined. Thus, the proposed approach enables the designer to also design the “feel” of the switch, and directly manufacture a good model, simplifying the usual iterative process necessary to implement the desired force profile. Finally, an example of virtual prototyping of a turn-signal switch is presented demonstrating the usability of the proposed method and the haptic system.
