MR haptic device for virtual interface demonstration
The paper presents design and development of a 2-DOF magnetorheological (MR) haptic joystick and studies its application in virtual reality. The developed system consists of three main parts: MR joystick, control hardware, and software. The MR joystick is composed of two MR actuators in disc shape positioned perpendicularly with a gibmal structure. The dimensions of MR actuators were optimized using finite element analysis. The steady-state performances of MR actuator were measured. The kinetics of the MR joystick in terms of working space and resistance force were discussed. The applications of the MR joystick in virtual reality were demonstrated by using typical 1-D and 2-D interface examples designed in Lab VIEW.
