Virtual inertia as an energy dissipation element for haptic interfaces (2022)
Journal Article
Choi, H., Kim, N. G., Jafari, A., Singh, H., & Ryu, J. H. (2022). Virtual inertia as an energy dissipation element for haptic interfaces. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 7(2), 2708-2715. https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2022.3144492

Adding virtual damping to dissipate energy has been a major tool for designing stable haptic interfaces in most passivity-based approaches. However, virtual damping is known to dissipate a limited amount of energy. It even generates energy during hig...
