Haptic Arm Master

• Research Background
• The wearable haptic device captures motion of user's arm to the virtual environment and virtual environment feedback force to user.

• Researchers
• Doo-Gie Min(Master., e-mail), Sam-Gon Cha(Master., e-mail)

• Research Period
• 2000. 03. ~ 2002. 12.

• Research Output

                           <Haptic Arm Master: HAM>

• Research Objectives
• Develop wearable Exoskeleton haptic device. 
• Develop light weighted exoskeleton haptic device.
• Transmit realistic force feedback to user according the event happened in virtual environment.

• Features of HAM
• Exoskeleton type.
• 5DOF : Shoulder 3DOF, Elbow 1 DOF, Wrist 1 DOF.  
• Place Motro/retarder to the base and use wire to transmit force for make light weighted haptic device.
• Use encoder for measure motion of arm and hand.

                       <Schematics of HAM>

• Synchronize avatar with HAM and transmit the motion of HAM to avatar

• Manipulating the steering wheel and gear shift using HAM in CAVE

• Handling a refrigerator door and coffee pot using HAM
