碩士 === 大同大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 90 === Main purpose of virtual reality (VR) is the interaction between operator and haptic device. Through human wisdom and the user interface, one can real-time control haptic device accomplishing complicated jobs. The main components of the system include user interface, simulation and haptic device control scheme. In the structure of the user interface, there is virtual environment and visual equipment. This study presents to take the robot as haptic device. The human arm can directly control the robot. And after the plan of the computer program, the operator can feel the change of the VR environment. Though the real-time show in the screen, one can see the change of the VR environment during operating process. In the experiment, we build the virtual spring and damper model, and simulate the process of the tennis. Then human operator manipulates a virtual tool in the simulated environment and feels the force response as it contacts and interacts with virtual objects in the simulation.
