Abstract

In this paper we present a haptic rendering algorithm for simulating the interaction of two independently controlled rigid objects with each other and a rigid environment. Our penalty based approach is based on a linearization model of occurring forces, and employs, for the computation of object positions and orientations, an iterative trust-region-based-optimization method. At this, the combination of a per step passivity condition and an adaptively controlled maximal object displacement achieves a stable and transparent rendering in free space and in contact situations.
