最近，我们提出了一种广域触觉反馈装置的新概念。它基于一种可变形的机械结构，能够变形其形状以模仿所需的对象。由于结果形状的物理存在，后者可以用整个手直观地触摸和探索。这个原型被称为SmartMesh[A.Mazzone等人，(2003)]。在简要回顾了SmartMesh机构的基础上，重点讨论了这种多自由度结构的可控性问题，并介绍了负责为机械结构的驱动提供所需参数的控制算法的概念和实现方法。结果强调了基于SmartMesh概念的未来触觉反馈用户界面设备令人惊叹的变形能力和表现力。
Lately, we have been proposing a novel concept for a wide area haptic feedback device. It is based on a deformable mechanical structure capable of morphing its shape in order to imitate a desired object. Due to the physical presence of the resulting shape, the latter can intuitively be touched and explored with the whole hand. The prototype has been called SmartMesh [A. Mazzone et al., (2003)]. After a short review of the SmartMesh mechanism, this paper focuses on the controllability issue of such a multi-degrees of freedom structure and introduces the concept and the implementation of the control algorithm responsible for providing the required parameters for the actuation of the mechanical structure. The results emphasize the amazing deformation capability and expressiveness of a future haptic feedback enabled user interface device based on the SmartMesh concept.
