Problems solved by technology

In this case, since the piston is connected to the finger through a rotating hinge, the direction of the force applied to the finger is not perpendicular to the hand, so there is a limitation that the direction is different from the direction of the force sense that the virtual object actually transmits
In addition, there is a problem that the range in which the hand can move is limited due to the length of the piston
[0004] Also, for a force-sensing transmission system that uses an external robot to transmit force to the hand, the user cannot move the arm freely because it is not in the form of being worn on the hand, and the user's mobility is limited due to the large size

Embodiment Construction

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0027] figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a force sense transmission system according to an embodiment of the present invention. figure 2 is a diagram showing shapes of a driving link and a driven link according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] refer to figure 1 , the force sense transmission system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system for interacting with a virtual object by transmitting force generated from the virtual object to the end of a user's finger. In addition, the force-sense transmission system can also be used in the field of rehabilitation medicine. Here, the user can be not only a human but also a robot. In the following, in this embodiment, although the force sense transmission system is described as an example worn on the hand of the robot, it can obviously also be worn on the hand of the user.

Abstract

A force reflecting system according to the present invention is configured to have six degrees of freedom, thereby enabling free movements of opening and closing a hand, adduction of a finger, abduction of a finger, and the like, and can transfer a desired force to the end of a finger without interfering with the movement of the finger. Moreover, the system can estimate the position of the end ofa finger and the angle of a joint of the finger, thereby measuring the movement of the finger, and can thereby transfer a more accurate force.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a force-sense transmission system, and more particularly, to a force-sense transmission system capable of effectively transmitting force sense felt when touching a virtual object with a hand to a finger. Background technique [0002] The force sense transmission system refers to a system for interacting with a virtual object by transmitting force generated from the virtual object in virtual reality to a finger. In a force-sensing transmission system, it is necessary to be able to perform natural hand movements and to be able to accurately transmit forces generated from virtual objects to the user's hand. [0003] Existing force-sense transmission systems using air pressure are configured to transmit force to a user by adjusting the length of a piston. In this case, since the piston is connected to the finger through a rotary hinge, the direction of the force applied to the finger is not perpendicular to the hand, so th...
