Abstract :
A dynamic force simulator (DFS) for force feedback in human-machine systems is proposed. The DFS simulates object dynamics contact model and friction characteristics of the human hand interacting with objects in a virtual reality environment. After derivation of kinematic and force relations between hand and object space, a method is proposed for calculation and feedback of appropriate forces to the force controlled actuators of the sensor glove which has been developed
