“…Force feedback has been shown, specifically for teleoperator systems, to improve performance of the operator in terms of reduced completion times, decreased peak forces and torques, and decreased cumulative forces and torques (Hill, 1979;Draper et al, 1987;Hannaford et al, 1991;Kim, 1991;Massimino & Sheridan, 1994;Murray et al, 1997;Williams et al, 2002;O'Malley & Ambrose, 2003). For training, virtual environments can provide a setting for safe, repeatable practice, and the inclusion of haptic feedback in such environments improves feelings of 2.4 Human Factors Design of the Interface realism in the task, increasing the likelihood for skill transfer from the virtual to the real environment.…”
