Human factors and performance enhancement techniques for haptic-enabled systems
FY 2010-11
Summary
Among the five major senses, touch is of particular importance: it is the only channel by which we can not only feel an object, but physically explore, manipulate and even change it.
This research focuses on haptics-- an emerging technology that enables a user to interact with virtual environments, remote objects or micro-/nano-worlds through the sense of touch. Specifically, we propose to develop some principles, algorithms and tools that are essential for a haptic-enabled system to realize highly realistic haptic interaction with virtual environments. Due to the broad scope of potential research topics, we limit our efforts to a subset of problems about human factors and system control. The work targets the application of medical simulation and the expected research results will be verified by the development of a cricothyroidotomy simulator.
