ABSTRACT

Among different interaction modalities, force feedback is one of the key technologies to increase the interactivity and immersion of a virtual assembly process. This paper presents a 6-DOF force device with its forward kinematic analysis, workspace simulation, and gravity compensation. To evaluate the device, a prototype system is developed and a case study is conducted to assemble a mechanical product. The users have given positive feedback on the gravity compensation implemented and the general performance of the device.
