SYSTEMATIC CONSIDERATION OF HAPTIC PERCEPTION IN THE DESIGN OF TASK-SPECIFIC HAPTIC SYSTEMS

This work proposes a new additional step in the development of task-specific haptic teleoperation systems. This step termed interaction analysis leads to a better insight for relevant requirements for the design of the system. This is based on an analysis of human force perception with respect to external influencing factors and the coupling of the perception of forces and kinematic quantities by the mechanical impedance of the user. Furthermore, the concept of haptic transparency is extended to form a evaluation criterion with consideration of haptic perception capabilities.
