Japan researcher builds device to transmit 'force'
- sleepydog 13y agoYou could also use this as a force 'duplicator'. If you improve this device to allow freedom of motion suitable for say, making a wood carving, and wire it up in a one-to-many fashion, where the artist can carve 100 blocks of wood at once, would the carvings still be considered hand-made?
- X4 13y agohmm great question. I don't know the answer, but to me they would still be hand made, but not originally hand made.
- miahi 13y agoUnfortunately it's not clear what is the difference between this solution and other force-feedback systems.
- gculliss 13y agoHow is this an innovation over things like the Da Vinci surgical robot system? http://www.intuitivesurgical.com/products/davinci_surgical_system/ http://www.intuitivesurgical.com/products/davinci_surgical_s...
- X4 13y agoHoly cow, that looks like cut out of some alien abduction film..creepy shit.. Not it's not related to that. From what I understand, it transmits the force directly, not using a physical "robot-hand", but pressure I think. Maybe I was fooled, because as miahi said, it's not really clear from the article.. Nonetheless if it's what I think, then it's a worthy news. Funny I didn't think of Star Wars, but that's as close as it gets I think

- anko 13y agoi thought this was going to be about star wars.
- pontifier 13y agoI experimented with force feedback a few years ago... The simplest method I used, was to take 2 servos and cross wire their potentiometers to each other... The servo update rate was not fast enough to avoid oscillations, but it was still cool.
