Time-Domain Passivity Control of Haptic Interfaces with Tunable Damping Hardware
We describe a time-domain passivity control methodology that uses programmable eddy current viscous dampers to prevent a user from extracting energy from a haptic interface. A pas...

Initial results using Eddy Current Brakes as Fast Turn-on, Programmable Physical Dampers for Haptic Rendering
We demonstrate the use of eddy current braking as programmable, fast turn-on, physical damping to improve both the impedance range and stability of a haptic interface while render...
