- Abstract
- In this paper, a study on wearable exoskeleton devices which are capable of delivering sensation to the fingers while interacting with the virtual objects in virtual reality environment has been conducted. A force-controllable hand exoskeleton system is proposed, which is able to apply force feedback to the fingertip while allowing natural finger motions. The linkage structure was inspired by the skeletal structure of a human finger. Moreover, a series elastic actuator (SEA) mechanism, which consisted of a linear motor, a spring and a potentiometer, was presented as an actuating system. The force transmission through linkage has been investigated to ensure the force feedback ability at the fingertip. By using a PID controller, the proposed actuator module could generate the desired force in two different modes: free mode and interaction mode. The experimental results show that the proposed system could effectively deliver forces to the fingertips. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
