    摘要: A touch interface device includes a touch surface configured to be engaged by an object, first and second actuator assemblies operably connected to the touch surface, and a controller operably connected with the first and second actuator assemblies. The first actuator assembly displaces the touch surface in one or more lateral directions along the touch surface at a first frequency. The second actuator assembly displaces the touch surface in an angled direction that is one of at least obliquely or perpendicularly angled to the touch surface at a second frequency. The controller operates the first and second actuator assemblies so that the touch surface varies in engagement with the object to impart a force on the object that is along the touch surface.

    摘要: A touch interface device includes a touch surface, an actuator, and an electrode. The actuator is coupled with the touch surface and is configured to move the touch surface in one or more directions. The electrode is coupled with the touch surface and is configured to impart a normal electrostatic force on one or more appendages of a human operator that engage the touch surface when an electric current is conveyed to the electrode. Movement of the touch surface by the actuator and the electrostatic force provided by the electrode are synchronized to control one or more of a magnitude or a direction of a shear force applied to the one or more appendages that engage the touch surface.

    摘要: A mechanical apparatus and method for a high performance hoist for raising and lowering a load, and control apparatus and method for controlling the hoist such that its operation is responsive and intuitive for a human operator. The mechanical apparatus provides a reel for winding a cable, a ball-screw for translating the reel, and an encoder on the reel with which the height of the payload may be monitored. Also disclosed is an operator's handle comprising a movable sleeve with a damper as well as a spring to return it to its null position. The control apparatus and method provides for a handle-nulling mode in which the payload height is servo-controlled to follow the displacement of the operator's hand grasping the handle. The control apparatus further provides a float-mode in which the payload height is responsive to the operator's forces applied directly to the payload. Further, a payload mass estimation system is provided such that the mass of the payload can be determined without waiting for a period of time to allow the payload to settle. In addition, a mode-switching algorithm for transparent switching among different control modes is also disclosed.
