内容記述 | During 1989 a new six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) active hand controller concept was designed and constructed based on the concept of a virtual pivot. This concept, labeled VPHC, was first demonstrated in a 1985 study and a patent was issued in 1990. Operator control input occurs via a force/torque sensor rigidly mounted to the handgrip. Sensed force/torque signals are used by microprocessors to generate motor drive control for each of six independently controlled motors mounted on the three-legged mechanism. The control microprocessor uses input biasing and rate-feedback motor controllers to generate the sensed feel of virtual springs and deadbands found in more conventional designs. An important advantage of this design is that the location of the virtual pivots, reflective forces and torques, breakout force levels, sensed spring rates, and operating modes, can be changed simply by changing the software. This approach yields an autonomous VPHC that can easily adapt itself to an individual operator (by software extension). A proof-of-concept version has been demonstrated, and further improvements are currently being studied and implemented. |
