Efficient Haptic Rendering of Regolith

Aaron Pereira,Annika Schmidt,Aaron Pereira,Annika Schmidt

Driven by the need for physically accurate and haptically convincing models of lunar and planetary regolith for model-mediated teleoperation in space, we present an approach to modelling regolith in an efficient yet realistic way. Model parameters are derived from physical characteristics of the regolith, to render regoliths with different density profiles, cohesion, internal friction and in diffe...
