Abstract. Estimation of the most important functional and non functional features during design process of the human-machine interfaces can be tedious. This particularly stands for a haptic device. Therefore, there is a need for a development and validation environment to be used for extensive tests during the design process. It will enable the designer to fine tune the device to different application environments. One solution is to make virtual reality world of simulated physics and force feedback interaction within Matlab environment. In this paper, the implementation of such virtual world with MATLAB Virtual Reality toolbox and Simulink 3D animation product is presented, discussed and evaluated.
Key Words: component; haptics; telepresence; robotics; virtual reality.
VIRTUAL REALITY INTERFEJS U MATLAB/SIMULINK OKRUŽENJU ZA KONTROLU 2 DOF DŽOJSTIKA
Izbor najbitnijih funkcionalnih i nefunkcionlnih parametara u toku procesa dizajniranja interfejsa čovek-mašina može biti veoma zahtevno. Ovo naročito važi za haptički uređaj. Stoga, postoji potreba kako za razvojnim okruženjem, tako i za okruženjem za validaciju koje će omogućiti opsežne testove u toku procesa razvoja. Ovo okruženje će omogućiti dizajneru da precizno podesi uređaj za različite aplikacije. Jedno rešenje se ogleda u kreiranju virtuelnog sveta sa simuliranom fizikom i force-feedback interkacijom u okviru Matlab okruženja. U ovom radu je opisana, diskutovana i evaluirana implementacija takvog virtuelnog sveta sa Matlab Virtual Reality alatima i Simulink 3D animation proizvodom.
