Stability is indispensable to haptic interfaces for the simulation of a large variety of virtual environments. On a multi-degree of freedom (multi-DOF) haptic device, the passivity condition must be satisfied in both end-effector and joint space to achieve stable interaction. In this study, a conservative passivity condition is utilized for the stability such that guaranteeing the passivity at all joints is a sufficient condition for the passivity and then stability of the whole haptic system. An optimal posture control algorithm is developed to satisfy this passivity condition and maximize the stability performance of a redundant haptic device. The algorithm optimally adjusts the device postures, which are estimated by a Golden Section Search algorithm. The proposed control algorithm was experimentally implemented on a virtual sphere by using a 7-DOF redundant haptic device. Z-width stability metric was used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the optimal posture control approach significantly improves the stability of the redundant haptic devices.

Transparency improvement in haptic devices with a torque compensator using motor current
Baser, Ozgur; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Gurocak, Hakan (2012-12-01)
Transparency of a haptic interface can be improved by minimizing the effects of inertia and friction through the use of model based compensators. However, the performance with these algorithms is limited due to the estimation errors in the system model and in the velocity and acceleration from quantized encoder data. This paper contributes a new torque compensator based on motor current to improve transparency. The proposed method was tested experimentally in time and frequency domains by means of an excita...
Hybrid control algorithm to improve both stable impedance range and transparency in haptic devices
Baser, Ozgur; Gurocak, Hakan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan (2013-02-01)
An ideal haptic device should transmit a wide range of stable impedances with maximum transparency. When using active actuators, transparency improvement algorithms tend to decrease the range of attainable impedances. Passive actuators can transmit high impedances stably, but are not sufficient alone for transparency. In this study, a hybrid force control algorithm employing active and passive actuators was developed to improve the stable impedance range and transparency in haptic devices. A new transparenc...
Adaptive decentralized control of interconnected systems
Sezer, ME; Altunel, H (2004-08-01)
This paper presents a decentralized adaptive stabilization scheme for a class of interconnected systems using high-gain adaptive controllers. The nominal subsystems are assumed to satisfy some mild conditions required by standard adaptive control schemes, and the interconnections certain structural conditions. The decentralized controllers are high-gain dynamic systems operating on local outputs to generate local control inputs. Both continuous-time and sampled-data controllers are considered. The idea behi...
ADAPTIVE-CONTROL OF FLEXIBLE MULTILINK MANIPULATORS
BODUR, M; SEZER, ME (Informa UK Limited, 1993-09-01)
An adaptive self-tuning control scheme is developed for end-point position control of flexible manipulators. The proposed scheme has three characteristics. First, it is based on a dynamic model of a flexible manipulator described in cartesian coordinates, which eliminates the burden and inaccuracy of translating a desired end-point trajectory to joint coordinates using inverse kinematic relations. Second, the effect of flexibility is included in the dynamic model by approximating flexible links with a numbe...
Immersive design environments for performative architectural design: a BIM-based approach.
Akın, Şahin; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2020)
In architectural design processes, the use of shared, simulated, and synchronized virtual environments and computational methods becomes widespread. Virtual reality immerses users in a three-dimensional digital environment and has the potential to make them involve actively in the act of design. Daylighting is an essential concept in architectural design, but its assessment and integration to the design process can be complicated. The use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools is identified as a crit...
