Postdoctoral: Haptic Representation and Rendering of Complex Contact States

[0203146]肖静，北卡罗莱纳大学夏洛特分校实验计算机科学博士后复杂接触状态的触觉表征与渲染所提出的研究涉及：1)如何在虚拟环境中高保真地模拟人类操作员在手动装配或操作过程中持有一个或多个部件所感受到的效果；2)如何实时自动渲染这种效果，使虚拟环境中的人类感觉这些部件仿佛是真实的。该研究的实验和跨学科性质将为博士后提供机会，拓宽和深化在几何和物理计算算法、人机交互、机器人操作力学、计算机模拟、动画、远程操作和互联网协作方面的研究技能和专业知识。该研究的潜在应用包括虚拟样机、远程学习、电子商务和娱乐。

0203146Xiao, JingUniversity of North Carolina at CharlotteCISE Postdoctoral Associates in Experimental Computer Science: Haptic Representation and Rendering of Complex Contact StatesThe proposed research is concerned with 1) how to simulate, with high fidelity in a virtual environment, the effect felt by a human operator holding one or more parts during a manual assembly or manipulation process, and 2) how to automatically render such an effect in real-time so that a human in a virtual environment feels as though the parts are real. The experimental and interdisciplinary nature of the proposed research will provide opportunities for the postdoctoral associate to broaden and deepen research skills and expertise in geometric and physical computation algorithms, human-computer interaction, mechanics of robotic manipulation, computer simulation, animation, teleoperation, and collaboration over the Internet. Potential applications of the proposed research include virtual prototyping, distance learning, e-commerce, and entertainment.
