Advanced control system for next generation force feedback haptic devices

触觉(与计算机的触摸交互)是一项新兴技术，它允许受训者以一种合理的方式、重复和安全地练习程序，从而极有可能给临床培训带来革命性的变化。通用机器人公司正在为临床培训开发触觉模拟，并在InnovateUK的支持下将产品推向市场。这项研究是测试将一种新型控制系统应用于我们的触觉界面的可行性的机会，如果成功，将有可能显著扩大我们技术的潜在用途，并使临床培训成为世界各地培训机构更可行的前景。

Haptics (touch interaction with computers) is an emerging technology which has great potential to revolutionise clinical training by allowing trainees to practice procedures in a reslistic way, repeatedly and a safely. Generic Robotics is developing haptically enabled simulation for clinical training and with innovateUK support is bring products to market. The study is an oportunity to test the feasibility of applying a new type of control system to our haptic interfaces which, if successful, has the potential to significantly widen the the potential uses for our technology as well as making uptake of clinical training a much more viable prospect for training institutions world wide.
