| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, technology to construct a large virtual reality space has been developed. Force feedback devices that can render haptic perception such as operating real objects are required. General devices are desktop types.Desktop types restrict range of motion of the operator.
In this study, we developed a wearable 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) force feedback device for upper-limb using variable visco-elastic mechanisms which are composed of pneumatic artificial muscles and magneto-rheological clutches. Further, 3D VR/AR intelligent space was consisted, this wearable device was applied to the intelligent space.
As a results of the experiments, the proposed wearable type force feedback devices showed good performance in the developed 3D VR space.
