    摘要: A haptic simulation method determines a location of a needle assembly within a magneto-rheological fluid. The needle assembly within the magneto-rheological fluid is associated with a desired resistance value. A viscosity control signal representative of the desired resistance value is generated. The viscosity control signal is applied to a viscosity control device to vary a viscosity of the magneto-rheological fluid to achieve the desired resistance value.

    摘要: A haptic feedback system comprises a moveable device with at least three degrees of freedom in an operating space. A display device is operative to present a dynamic virtual environment. A controller is operative to generate display signals to the display device for presentation of a dynamic virtual environment corresponding to the operating space, including an icon corresponding to the position of the moveable device in the virtual environment. An actuator of the haptic feedback system comprises a stator having an array of independently controllable electromagnet coils. By selectively energizing at least a subset of the electromagnetic coils, the stator generates a net magnetic force on the moveable device in the operating space. In certain exemplary embodiments the actuator has a controllably moveable stage positioning the stator in response to movement of the moveable device, resulting in a larger operating area. A detector of the system, optionally multiple sensors of different types, is operative to detect at least the position of the moveable device in the operating space and to generate corresponding detection signals to the controller. The controller receives and processes detection signals from the detection sensor and generates corresponding control signals to the actuator to control the net magnetic force on the moveable device.

    摘要: Obesity has grown into one of the world's most significant health problems. The field of bariatrics and the quantity of bariatric surgical procedures is projected to continue to increase rapidly each year. This trend presents a challenge to healthcare providers and facilities striving to provide dignified care that is effective and safe both for the patient and the provider. There is a great demand for new approaches to bariatric patient care. The present invention is a robotic patient lifting system, targeted for, but not limited to, bariatric patient care. Without the need for difficult, time consuming slings and hoists associated with currently available systems, the invented lifting and transferring system utilizes rapidly deployable, articulated robotic arms with gentle conveyor belts. A unique linkage system allows powerful, safe, and flexible lifting and positioning of the patient with a minimal number of actuators. The lifting mechanism is mounted on a low profile, stable and flexible footprint, omnidirectional robotic mobile base. A simple, intuitive user interface allows control by a single caregiver with minimal training
