Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A multi-function force reflecting haptic interface including various sub-assemblies is disclosed. The sub-assemblies include multiple function user interfaces, a user interface docking station for setting the interface to a home position, temperature monitoring and control systems, and various kinematic cable drive systems.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A docking station for a force reflecting haptic interface, the docking station being secured within a housing of the haptic interface, and comprising: a mating structure adapted to releasably engage at least a portion of a user interface, wherein the user interface comprises a nose section for tracing a physical model or drawing. and the mating structure comprises a matching barrel formed in the housing of the haptic interface and sized to fit at least a po…
