Haptics-Led Innovation for Coming Society

摘要

Contact task by artifact has been an unsolved problem since its starting in 1940's. After many R&Ds including the early works in US and the other countries, bilateral control is a strong solution for this issue. Quality of tactile sensation heavily depends on transparency between master and slave. The Hadamard transformation designed in acceleration space gives the high transparency. The real haptics based on this transformation brings not only the vivid sensation of contact task but also two important applications into the coming society. One is a high-quality tele-operation and the other is a playback of skilled motion by human. The real haptics is a key concept in 21st century where QOL should be the fundamental basis of the society. The paper shows some examples of experiments.
