Abstract

We develop a force feedback device that generates rotational and translational resistive forces using electro-rheological (ER) gel with one-sided pattern electrodes. ER gel is a functional material in which applied electric fields increase the shear stress on the surface. One-sided pattern electrodes allow electrodes to be installed on only one side of the gel, simplifying the structure of the device. We herein describe the device and the software used to test the device. We measure shear stress of the ER gel on one-sided pattern electrodes for rotational and translational movement.
