Controller Design for a 3 D.O.F Haptic Interface Device

This paper presents a novel 3 D.O.F haptic interface which is designed to meet the interaction requirement of teleoperation tasks and virtual reality applications. The mechanism design takes the operability into consideration such as adopting steel cables as transmission components and mass balances to eliminate the gravity effect and so on. The dynamics of haptic interface including actuating device is also studied. In order to provide operator with fidelity kinesthetic information, we design a force controller using self-learning fuzzy logic control. The simulation result verifies the effectiveness of the control method
