This video shows a few experiments performed on a novel 2-DOF haptic interface designed based on Magneto-Rheological Fluid Based Actuation system. The performance of the device is evaluated and compared with those of Phantom Omni and Quanser Haptic Wand. Virtual Wall experiment is first performed and Z-Widths of the systems are derived. Also, test in a bilateral teleoperated needle insertion and tissue palpation setup is also performed.
Nima Najmaei is the main researcher behind this project responsible for design, construction, and evaluation of the proposed device.
