The electronic device 2 may be, for example, a robot arm (Robotic arm). However, the present invention is not limited to the kind of the electronic device 2, and those skilled in the art can select other suitable electronic devices according to different application fields. However, in order to briefly explain the operation of the real-world side of the present invention, the following embodiments will be described by taking the implementation of a robot as an example.
As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, the electronic device 2 may also be a mechanical apparatus including a mechanical body 21 and a control stage 22.

The control platform 22 is a movable control platform, which can be remotely controlled to move toward the dangerous object SE. The control platform has a programmable controller for controlling the overall operation of the electronic device 2, such as the position movement of the electronic device 2, the movement of the moving arm 21, and the movement of the mechanical finger 23. The above-described design and selection of the robot are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the possible embodiments of the robot in the present invention. In other words, one skilled in the art can select or design a suitable robot according to different application fields.
The tactile detection device 10 comprises one or more tactile sensors 110 (also referred to as first tactile sensors). The touch sensor 110 may be, for example, a pressure sensor, for detecting an acting force applied to the electronic device 2 to generate an acting force value information, i.e., a pressure value. In addition, in one embodiment, the tactile detection device 10 has a command conversion table, and the command conversion table records at least one corresponding set of feedback force value information and operation commands. By using the instruction conversion table, the controller of the electronic device 2 can convert the feedback force value information into an operation instruction, and correspondingly execute the operation behavior according to the operation instruction.
The haptic fulfillment device 14 includes, for example, one or more haptic fulfillment devices 141 and one or more haptic sensors 143 (i.e., a second haptic sensor). In one embodiment, the haptic energizer 141 and the haptic sensor 143 are each electrically connected to the processor 12. The tactile force sensor 141 is used for receiving a control signal from the processor 12, obtaining a simulation force value information to be applied to the user wearing the wearing device 3 according to the control signal, and converting the simulation force value information into a simulation force applied to the user, so that the user can feel the simulation force corresponding to the simulation force value information. The touch sensor 143 may be, for example, a pressure sensor, for sensing a feedback force generated by the user in response to the simulated action force to generate the feedback force value information. The details of the design of the tactile sensation demonstration device 141 and the positional relationship between the tactile sensation demonstration device 141 and the tactile sensor 143 on the wearing device 3 will be described later.
On the other hand, as shown in fig. 1A to 1B and fig. 2, the wearing device 3, the processor 12, the tactile sensation energizer 14 and the memory 16 are provided at a simulation operation side.
In one embodiment, the processor 12, the tactile sensation fulfillment device 14 and the storage 16 may be disposed on the wearable device 3 or integrated into the wearable device 3, the processor 12 is electrically connected to the tactile sensation fulfillment device 14 and the storage 16, respectively, and the wearable device 3 may be communicatively connected to the real-world site through a wired or wireless connection, and may also be communicatively connected to the electronic device 2, and further communicatively connected to the tactile sensation detection device 10.
In another embodiment, the haptic realization device 14 is disposed on the wearing device 3 or integrated in the wearing device 3, but the processor 12 and the storage 16 are independent of the haptic realization device 14 and disposed in a server (not shown) of the simulation console; therefore, the haptic reality device 14 can be connected to the processor 12 by wire or wirelessly, and the server can be connected to the electronic device 2 at the real-world side by wire or wirelessly. The server may be, for example, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a cloud computer, or a computer device with computing and control functions. The present invention is not limited to the kind of server, and those skilled in the art can select other suitable servers according to different application fields.
In light of the above, although the devices on the simulated operation end have different configurations, in order to briefly describe the operation of the simulated operation end in the present invention, the following embodiments will be described by taking as an example the implementation mode in which the processor 12 and the tactile sensation demonstration device 14 are integrated in the wearable device 3.
The wearable device 3 may include accessories that can cover the skin of the user, accessories that can provide visual sensory enjoyment, accessories that can provide auditory sensory enjoyment, and the like. The fitting that can cover the skin of the user may be, for example, a Glove (Glove), a bodysuit or a semi-bodysuit, etc., but the invention is not limited thereto. The accessories that can provide visual sensory enjoyment can be, for example, virtual glasses/eyecups, etc., but the invention is not limited thereto. The accessory that can provide the auditory sensory enjoyment may be, for example, an earphone, but the invention is not limited thereto. The present invention is not limited to the type of wearing device 3, and those skilled in the art can select other suitable wearing devices according to different application fields. To briefly explain the operation of the simulation console in the present invention, the following embodiments will be described by taking the wearing device 3 with gloves and virtual glasses as an example, as shown in fig. 1A and 3A.
The storage 16 stores information required for simulating the operation of the console, such as a control signal conversion table and an application program or an instruction set related to performing the simulation operation. The control signal conversion table here describes, for example, correspondence between different control signals and different force value information. The processor 12 can convert the received force value information into a control signal through the control signal conversion table, and control the operation of the haptic realistic apparatus 14 according to the control signal.
Details describing the design of the haptic implementer 141 are set forth below.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3A and 3B, the haptic energizer 141 is a pressure generator. Further, in one embodiment, the pressure generator is disposed on the surface 13a inside the glove and includes one or more electrode patches 141 a. The electrode patches 141a are wired to the processor 12. The electrode patches 141a are used for contacting the skin surface of the user and releasing a current signal corresponding to the above-mentioned simulated force value information to the skin surface, so that the user can feel a corresponding simulated force.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4A and 4B, the tactile energizer 141' comprises one or more control valves 145 and one or more bladder assemblies 147, and both the control valves 145 and the bladder assemblies 147 are disposed in the wearing apparatus 3. Control valve 145 is connected to airbag assembly 147 and is electrically connected to processor 12. The balloon assembly 147 is configured to generate a simulated force on the skin surface by inflation or deflation of the balloon. The control valve 145 is controlled by the processor 12 to control the corresponding airbag module 147 to inflate or deflate according to a control signal.
The following description will be made by listing the positional relationship of the tactile feedback device 141 and the tactile sensor 143 on the wearable device 3.
The relative position between the tactile sensor 143 and the tactile sensor 141 can be designed according to the requirements of the actual application, and the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the haptic solidifier 141 and the haptic sensor 143 may be disposed at least partially overlapping, or disposed entirely staggered.
Also, in one embodiment, the location of the haptic energizer 141 and the haptic sensor 143 on the wearable device 3 corresponds to the location of the haptic sensor 110 on the electronic device 2. For example, it is assumed that the robot arm as the electronic device 2 has five mechanical fingers 23, the five mechanical fingers 23 respectively correspond to five human fingers UF, and the glove-type wearing device 3 has five finger portions 31, the five finger portions 31 also respectively correspond to five human fingers UF, in other words, the five mechanical fingers 23 of the electronic device 2 respectively correspond to five finger portions 31 of the wearing device 3; thus, the haptic energizer 141 located on the tip of a finger portion 31 (e.g., index finger) has a corresponding one of the tactile sensors 110 on the tip of a mechanical finger 23 (e.g., index finger) corresponding to the finger portion 31. Accordingly, the pressure value detected by the touch sensor 110 corresponding to the index finger is reflected to the touch sensor 141 corresponding to the index finger, so that the index finger of the user can sense the pressure corresponding to the pressure value.
Thus, the tactile reality device 141 can generate a simulation acting force capable of acting on the user wearing the wearable device 3 according to the detection result of the real field end, so that the user can feel the simulation acting force corresponding to the simulation acting force value information; meanwhile, the tactile sensor 143 can also detect the feedback of the user according to the sensed simulation force, so that the user's feedback will further reflect the operation at the real-world site.
As a practical example, in the remote simulation system, if the user wants to touch the upper cover of the dangerous object SE with the index finger, the user can actively bend the index finger after wearing the wearing device 3 with the haptic enabling device 14, and the haptic sensor 143 corresponding to the index finger detects the feedback force acting thereon to obtain a feedback force value information, and transmit the feedback force value information to the processor 12. Then, the processor 12 transmits the feedback force value information to the electronic device 2 at the real field site through the transmission interface. After the electronic device 2 receives the feedback force value information, the electronic device 2 converts the received feedback force value information into an operation instruction by using an instruction conversion table, and performs a corresponding operation behavior according to the operation instruction, i.e., controls the mechanical finger 23 corresponding to the index finger to perform a corresponding action of the user so as to touch the upper cover of the dangerous object SE.
When the electronic device 2 performs the above-mentioned operation, the touch sensor 110 corresponding to the index finger also detects the acting force applied to the mechanical finger 23 corresponding to the index finger during the operation, so as to obtain a corresponding acting force value information. The electronic device 2 can transmit the information of the force value to the processor 12 at the simulation operation end through the transmission interface. Then, the processor 12 converts the force value information into a control signal and transmits the control signal to the tactile feedback 141 corresponding to the index finger. The touch feeling enforcer 141 enforces the simulation force value information according to the received control signal, that is, the index finger of the user feels a simulation force corresponding to the simulation force value information. At this time, the user can further respond according to the sensed simulation force.
In addition, please refer to fig. 5 for one or more embodiments of the application field of virtual reality training for remote demolition of explosive hazards, which illustrates the haptic simulation system 4 disclosed in the present invention. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of a haptic simulation system according to another embodiment of the invention. The haptic simulation system 4 includes a processor 12, a haptic fulfillment device 14, and a memory 16. In fig. 5, the connection relationship and the installation position between the processor 12, the haptic device 14 and the storage 16, and part or all of the functions of the components can refer to the related embodiment of fig. 2, and are not described herein again.
In contrast to the remote simulation system 1 of fig. 2, the haptic simulation system 4 of fig. 5 does not need to provide the haptic detection device 10 of fig. 2, and the storage 16 may further store one or more simulation models (i.e., a first simulation model) and at least one corresponding set of feedback force value information and operation commands. The simulation model records a strain rule with feedback force value information and corresponding simulation force value information.
The processor 12 may provide the user with a virtual context, i.e., a virtual removal scene, via the user's audio/video equipment or the wearing device worn by the user (e.g., virtual reality headset) and the simulation model stored in the memory 16. For convenience of explanation, the wearing device with gloves and virtual glasses will be described as an example. The user can optionally provide active feedback based on the virtual threat removal site, such as an attempt to touch the upper cover of the threat SE with the index finger. At this time, the touch sensor 143 corresponding to the index finger detects the feedback force acting thereon to obtain a feedback force value information, and transmits the feedback force value information to the processor 12. Then, the processor 12 converts the feedback force value information at this time into an operation command by using the corresponding set of feedback force value information and operation command stored in the memory 16. The processor 12 transmits the operation instructions to an accessory on the wearable device, i.e., virtual glasses, that can provide visual sensory enjoyment. The virtual glasses correspondingly display a virtual picture according to the operation instruction, that is, the mechanical arm in the virtual situation can perform an action of touching the upper cover of the dangerous object SE according to the operation instruction. Meanwhile, the processor 12 further calculates the simulation force value information corresponding to the operation command by using the simulation model.
Then, the processor 12 converts the simulated force value information into a control signal, and transmits the control signal to the tactile feedback 141 corresponding to the index finger. The touch feeling enforcer 141 enforces the simulation force value information according to the received control signal, that is, the index finger of the user feels a simulation force corresponding to the simulation force value information. At this time, the user can further respond according to the sensed simulation force.
