Design and Development of a Locomotion Interface for Virtual Reality Lower-Body Haptic Interaction
Description
This work presents the design, build, control, and preliminary user data of a locomotion interface called ForceBot. It delivers lower-body haptic interaction in virtual reality (VR), enabling users to walk in VR while interacting with various simulated terrains. It utilizes two planar gantries to give each foot two degrees of freedom and passive heel-lifting motion. The design used motion capture data with dynamic simulation for ergonomic human-robot workspace and hardware selection. Its system
