    Structural Compliance Effects on the Accuracy and Safety of a R-Cube Haptic Device
    (Springer Verlag, 2019) Carbone, Giuseppe; Acinapura, Antonio; Mundo, Domenico; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    This paper addresses the contribution of structural compliance on stiffness and safety of a R-CUBE Haptic Device. Structural compliance is determined in several poses via FEM analysis and addressed by referring to local and global indices of performance. Results are also compared with evidences from experimental tests. Comparison of numerical and experimental data allows to identify and separate the contributions to the overall compliance that are due to the structural stiffness, and other contributions such as joint clearance, pose and loading conditions.

    Experimental Evaluation of Actuation and Sensing Capabilities of a Haptic Device
    (Springer, 2019) Mobedi, Emir; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    Haptic devices are used to increase the telepresence level by providing the sense of touch to the human operator. Simultaneously, they capture the targeted motion of the human operator to generate a motion demand for the teleoperated slave system. Considering a scenario where the slave system’s end-effector is handled by the human operator at the master side, which is attached to the haptic device, an ideal haptic interaction involves the feeling of only the end-effector dynamics and the accurate sensation of the end-effector pose. The performance of a haptic device is based on these two functionalities. In this paper, the experimental evaluation of the actuation and sensing capabilities of a haptic device, HIPHAD v1.0 kinesthetic haptic device, is presented.

    Image Processing Based Stiffness Mapping of a Haptic Device
    (Springer, 2017) Taner, Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    The widely accepted performance criteria of haptic devices, which are transparency and z-width, are affected by the stiffness characteristics of the haptic device’s mechanism. In addition indirect measurement of the handle pose of a haptic device is also affected by the stiffness characteristic. In this study, image processing techniques are used in the experimental setup to develop a stiffness map of a haptic device. The experimentally developed stiffness map is presented and the results are discussed by addressing future works.

    Development of an R-Cube Based General Purpose Haptic Device System
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2010) Bilgincan, Tunç; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    A novel 6-Degree-of-Freedom (DoF) hybrid haptic device is presented in this paper. Hybrid mechanism consists of parallel kinematic structure, R-CUBE and a 3-DoF orientation mechanism. In our previous study, the original configuration of the R-CUBE mechanism was investigated. In this work, the original design of R-CUBE is reconfigured as a haptic mechanism and the final mechanism is reoriented in order to equally distribute the gravitational effects to all grounded actuators. Rotational motions of the end-effector are monitored through the 3-DoF orientation mechanism placed on the moving platform of the parallel platform. The design of this haptic device is suitable to reflect forces in translational motions, thus point-type of contact is available for this system. The designed device is manufactured utilizing various types of manufacturing processes, such as wire erosion, laser cutting, milling and turning. Finally manufactured mechanism is integrated with electromechanical components and tested for manipulability.
