This paper presents and discusses the design of a novel hyper-redundant haptic interface with 10 degrees-offreedom (DOF). The use of additional joints allows a significantly larger workspace, while reducing the overall device size. Moreover, an increase in a variety of dexterity measures and a singularity robust redundancy resolution can be achieved. Numerical simulations of standard methods for inverse kinematics resolution, namely pseudo inverse control and the projection of some side criterion on the nullspace of the Jacobian are compared and evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
