Abstract:
An apparatus for generating haptic feedback, includes: multiple haptic units placed on a first portion of a body; and a control unit placed on a second portion, near the first portion, of the body, wherein the control unit includes: a first module for acquiring information on relative position (i) among the respective multiple haptic units and (ii) between the respective haptic units and the control unit, a second module for acquiring information on absolute position of the control unit by measuring a position of the control unit in reference to an external reference point, and a haptic command module for creating a command signal by referring to at least one piece of the information on relative position acquired by the first module and the information on absolute position acquired by the second module and delivering the created command signal to a corresponding haptic unit among all the multiple haptic units.
Abstract:
Provided is a hand-held type user interface device for providing force feedback to a user according to an interaction with a virtual object or a user at a remote place, which remarkably increases the sense of reality in the interaction with the virtual object without limiting an action of the user by sensing the three-dimensional (3D) position and direction of the device and diversifying a force feedback provided to the user according to an action of the user holding the device.
Abstract:
An apparatus interacting with an external device by using a pedal module is provided. The apparatus includes: a pedal module; a parallel position-measuring sensor for sensing a degree of a parallel motion; a rotary position-measuring sensor for sensing a degree of a rotary motion; and a control part for ordering the external device to be driven by referring to at least either of the degree of the parallel motion sensed by the parallel position-measuring sensor or that of the rotary motion sensed by the rotary position-measuring sensor or for receiving a control signal from the external device and driving a motor group including at least one motor to apply force feedback to the pedal module by referring to the control signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a parallel fieldbus network-based motor control system including one or more slave modules each including a basic processor and an auxiliary processor that control one or more motors, and a master module including at least one master controller that generates command data for controlling each of the one or more motors. The master module further includes a basic network master controller, an auxiliary network master controller and a wireless network master controller, and the slave module includes a basic network slave controller, an auxiliary network slave controller and a wireless network module.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an actuator generating haptic sensations, the actuator having a spherical rotor driven by a magnetic force vector created around the same, a stator having a space corresponding in shape to the spherical rotor defined therein to allow the spherical rotor to be positioned in the space and having a portion of an upper part of the spherical rotor exposed, at least three rotation-driving coils formed in the stator at a given distance from each other to provide the magnetic force vector to the spherical rotor, and a driving unit independently controlling electric current supplied to each of the rotation-driving coils to create the magnetic force vector.
