项目摘要

This award provides support for research on how to use haptic interfaces (which provide force-feedback and the sense of touch) as a possible alternative to the traditional purely visual interface for simulating assembly and disassembly operations on a computer. Specifically, the research seeks to answer the question whether a haptically enabled assembly and disassembly simulation environment that allows the user to literally feel the objects in the virtual computer world provides a significant improvement over purely visual simulation feedback in assembly and disassembly simulations. A haptically enabled assembly and disassembly simulation environment will be developed and compared with a number of different available assembly and disassembly simulation environments that provide only visual feedback. Case studies with different levels of visual and tactile complexity will be employed.This award will provide for a direct understanding of the utility of using haptic interfaces compared to purely visual feedback in assembly and disassembly simulations. Part of the results will be a haptically enabled assembly and disassembly simulation environment that can be used for benchmarking and educational purposes. The research will provide a clear understanding of the advantages as well as limitations of haptic technology in this area, as well as the potential of applying this technology in industrial settings.

该奖项为如何使用触觉接口（提供力反馈和触摸感）作为研究的研究提供了支持，作为传统纯粹视觉界面的替代方法，用于模拟计算机上的组装和拆卸操作。具体而言，研究试图回答以下问题，启用了触觉的组装和拆卸模拟环境，该环境是否使用户能够从字面上感受到虚拟计算机世界中的对象，这对组装中纯粹的视觉模拟反馈和拆卸模拟的纯粹视觉模拟反馈提供了重大改进。将开发一个具有触觉启用的组件和拆卸模拟环境，并将其与仅提供视觉反馈的许多不同可用的组件和拆卸模拟环境进行比较。将采用具有不同视觉和触觉复杂性水平的案例研究。该奖项将直接理解使用触觉接口的效用，而与组装和拆卸模拟中的纯粹视觉反馈相比。结果的一部分将是一个触觉启用的组装和拆卸模拟环境，可用于基准和教育目的。这项研究将清楚地了解该领域的触觉技术的优势和局限性，以及将该技术应用于工业环境的潜力。
