Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled HAPTIC RENDERING OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL HETEROGENEOUS FEATURES Submitted by Lian Lili for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in February 2007 Haptic interaction provides the operator a full immersion in the virtual environment by offering an additional communication modality - the force feedback between the user and the computer. In recent years, haptic related research has attracted intensive interest, but most previous work has been restricted to modeling and haptic rendering of virtual models with homogeneous features. This study focuses on the haptic rendering algorithms of three-dimensional heterogeneous features and their applications to product design. In this study, heterogeneous features are characterized as both material and geometric variations, and haptic rendering of heterogeneous features is implemented in three disciplines. The first discipline focuses on the haptic rendering of heterogeneous rough surface and frictional surface of rigid objects. The haptic rendering of roughness and friction is implemented based on the generation of fine surface features. Three-dimensional geometric variations of fine surface features are created by a procedural method followed by a feature mapping approach. Improvement of the lateral-force algorithm and the Karnopp-based algorithm is developed to haptically render heterogeneous surface roughness and friction. The second discipline focuses on the haptic rendering of deflection or small deformation of an object consisted of heterogeneous materials. Haptic rendering of flexible objects is attributed in between haptic rendering of rigid objects and that of deformable objects. Therefore, a pseudo-rigid-body model is developed to model the flexible object and calculate the feedback forces. Pseudo-rigid-body models consisting of different materials are assembled in a certain way to simulate a heterogeneous object. The proposed approach is also applied to a haptic aided product design case study. In the third discipline, the haptic rendering of deformable objects composed of heterogeneous materials is investigated. A multi-layer mass-spring system is used to represent the deformable object. The relationship between the physical properties of the materials being simulated and the physical parameters of the model is investigated. A surface-based force-mapping method is developed to haptically display the proposed mass-spring system. This method simplifies a volume-based model into a surface-based model and maintains the material information of the inner volume of the model simultaneously. As a result, the haptic rendering of heterogeneous material objects can be realized. Furthermore, system computation acceleration is implemented by a proposed multi-resolution and multi-rate method.

Book Description
This book introduces the latest progress in six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) haptic rendering with the focus on a new approach for simulating force/torque feedback in performing tasks that require dexterous manipulation skills. One of the major challenges in 6-DoF haptic rendering is to resolve the conflict between high speed and high fidelity requirements, especially in simulating a tool interacting with both rigid and deformable objects in a narrow space and with fine features. The book presents a configuration-based optimization approach to tackle this challenge. Addressing a key issue in many VR-based simulation systems, the book will be of particular interest to researchers and professionals in the areas of surgical simulation, rehabilitation, virtual assembly, and inspection and maintenance.

Book Description
Since haptic rendering brings more real, more immersive and engaging experience into the 3D immersive environment, it greatly catches people's attention in broad fields such as medical therapy, gaming industry, robotics, etc. Haptic rendering in 3D immersive environment has become one of the trending research topics in recent years. Though there are many researches that well investigated this topic, there are still new challenges when introducing haptic feedback into the applications like Virtual / Mixed Reality and Tele-immersion. In 3D immersive environment, haptic rendering not only requires efficiency, stability, transparency, but also needs synchronization, disparity handling, delay compensation in networked applications. This dissertation aims to overcome the emerging challenges in the haptic-enabled 3D immersive environments. Specifically, three main research tasks are identified in the dissertation: bidirectional haptic rendering in 3D Tele-immersion, haptic rendering of 3D streaming deformable surface, and haptic-enabled 3D deformation. To solve the research problems, a set of novel approaches are presented in this dissertation. A Haptic-enabled Tele-Immersive Musculoskeletal Examination (H-TIME) system is developed that enables bi-directional force feedback and motion, facilitating remote evaluation of the patients associated with joints and muscles. A real-time haptic method is proposed to interact with 3D deformable streaming surface which is under 3D reconstruction. A real-time haptic rendering method is proposed to enable the interaction with 3D deformable objects using (multiple) haptic devices, which is able to provide with natural and smooth haptic rendering and fast stable 3D deformation. Based on the proposed methods, applications are developed to solve the real-world problems in medicine, training, and robotics.

Book Description
The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. Multiple disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software engineering converge to support haptics, and generally, haptic research is done by three communities: the robotics community, the human computer interface community, and the virtual reality community. This book is different from any other book that has looked at haptics. The authors treat haptics as a new medium rather than just a domain within one of the above areas. They describe human haptic perception and interfaces and present fundamentals in haptic rendering and modeling in virtual environments. Diverse software architectures for standalone and networked haptic systems are explained, and the authors demonstrate the vast application spectrum of this emerging technology along with its accompanying trends. The primary objective is to provide a comprehensive overview and a practical understanding of haptic technologies. An appreciation of the close relationship between the wide range of disciplines that constitute a haptic system is a key principle towards being able to build successful collaborative haptic environments. Structured as a reference to allow for fast accommodation of the issues concerned, this book is intended for researchers interested in studying touch and force feedback for use in technological multimedia systems in computer science, electrical engineering, or other related disciplines. With its novel approach, it paves the way for exploring research trends and challenges in such fields as interpersonal communication, games, or military applications.

Book Description
This is an open access book. In this third edition of Engineering Haptic Devices the software part was rewritten from scratch and now includes even more details on tactile and texture interaction modalities. The kinematics section was improved to extend beyond a pure knowledge explanation to a comprehensive guideline on how to actually do and implement haptic kinematic functions. The control section was reworked incorporating some hands-on experience on control implementation on haptic systems. The system, actuator and sensor design chapters were updated to allow easier access to the content. This book is written for students and engineers faced with the development of a task-specific haptic system. Now 14 years after its first edition, it is still a reference for the basics of haptic interaction and existing haptic systems and methods as well as an excellent source of information for technical questions arising in the design process of systems and components. Following a system engineering approach, it is divided into two parts with Part I containing background and reference information as a knowledge basis. Typical application areas of haptic systems and a thorough analysis of haptics as an interaction modality are introduced. The role of users in the design of haptic systems is discussed and relevant design and development stages are outlined. Part II presents all related challenges in the design of haptic systems including general system architecture and control structures, kinematics, actuator principles and all types of sensors you may encounter doing haptic device development. Beside these hardware and mechanical topics, further chapters examine state-of-the-art interfaces to operate the devices, and hardware and software development to push haptic systems to their limits.

Book Description
Projections for advances in medical and biological technology will transform medical care and treatment. This in great part is due to the result of the interaction and collaboration between medical sciences and engineering. These advances will result in substantial progress in health care and in the quality of life of the population. Frequently however, the implications of technologies in terms of increasing recurrent costs, additional required support services, change in medical practice and training needs are underestimated. As a result, the widespread irrational use of te- nologies leads to a wastage of scarce resources and weakens health systems performance. To avoid such problems, a syst- atic and effective Health Technology System must be developed and introduced, requiring the support and commitment of decision makers of all levels of the health system. The MediTech2009 conference aims to provide a special opportunity for the Romanian professionals involved in basic - search, R&D, industry and medical applications to exchange their know-how and build up collaboration in one of the most human field of science and techniques. The conference is intended to be an international forum for researchers and practit- ners interested in the advance in, and applications of biomedical engineering to exchange the latest research results and ideas in the areas covered by the topics (and not only!). We believe the reader will find the proceedings an impressive document of progress to date in this rapidly changing field.
