Abstract
The application relates to a haptic system comprising a haptic device that has an end effector terminal and a transmission structure which can generate a translational movement as an output variable, said translational movement extending from the transmission structure to the end effector terminal via a boom such that the end effector terminal moves in a manner that is perceptible to a user, the transmission structure being formed by means of driven linear shafts. The application further relates to a method for operating a haptic system comprising a haptic device.
Claims12
A haptic system having a haptic device which comprises an end effector terminal and a transmission structure, the transmission structure generates a translational movement as an output variable, said translational movement extends, in a horizontal direction, from the transmission structure to the end effector terminal via a horizontally aligned portion of an L-shaped boom such that the end effector terminal moves according to the output variable, the transmission structure being formed by driven linear shafts, which are received in a support structure, and the boom being coupled to at least one of the driven linear shafts.
A method for operating a haptic system with a haptic device, which comprises an end effector terminal and a transmission structure, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- generating a translational movement as an output variable of the transmission structure and
- moving the end effector terminal in a translational manner by extending, in a horizontal direction, the output variable out of the transmission structure to the end effector terminal via a horizontally aligned portion of an L-shaped boom,
- wherein the transmission structure being formed by driven linear shafts, which are received in a support structure, with the boom being coupled to at least one of the driven linear shafts, are utilized for generating the output variable.
