Data collection of force distribution on a surface of a flexible object using a desktop robot and its utilization in visio–haptic display

Abstract

We developed a data-driven method for modeling flexible objects that interpolates measured data and presents it as a target value for haptics presentation. Furthermore, in order to realize visual and haptics presentation, this method was combined with visual presentation by deformation simulation. As a result, we succeeded in reproducing the visio-haptic display of actual flexible objects.
