Adaptive control of haptic interfaces for virtual-reality-based surgery simulations

摘要

This paper deals with the control design of haptic interfaces for virtual reality-based surgery simulations and training. It is well-known that realistic force reflection and realistic visual representations are among the most stringent requirements that are imposed by surgeons in this application domain. Our goal here is to develop adaptive control strategies that would facilitate the implementation of more realistic man-machine interface for the purpose of virtual reality based surgical simulations.
