    Improved Usability of a Low-Cost 5-Dof Haptic Device for Robotic Teleoperation
    (Springer, 2019) Ateş, Gizem; Brunetti, Luca; Bonfè, Marcello
    The paper describes the design and application of a low-cost haptic device with five degrees of freedom (5-DOF), all of which are fully actuated for force/torque haptic display. The device is realized using two Novint Falcons, commercially available haptic devices with only translational DOF. The paper focus on the practical issues related to the use of such a haptic device as a robotic teleoperation master and provides solutions to improve its usability during an application inspired by surgical robotics, namely the teleoperated insertion of a needle into a soft tissue. Experiments demonstrate the usefulness of force feedback and virtual fixtures on both translation and orientation degrees of freedom. © 2019, CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences.

    Manipulator Design for a Haptic System With Improved Performance
    (Springer, 2021) Sekendiz, Veysel; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Karabulut, Mehmet Görkem; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    This paper presents the work carried out to improve the design of an existing kinesthetic haptic device. The proposed improvement is designated for enhancing this device’s impedance width which is a common metric in performance evaluation of haptic devices. In this study, kinematic design optimization, static balancing, constructional design enhancement and actuation system design studies are presented.

    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.
