Research and Implementation of Haptics Device Integration With a DynamicsSimulation Engine and Applications to Milling and Drilling Force Feedback (second stage)

Virtual environments represented by multibody system models play an important role in many applications. Adding the possibility of the user directly interacting with such environments via physical touch using haptics can significantly enhance the usability and range of application of simulated environments. In this project we particularly target two main objectives: (1) the multirate-simulation and […]
