Abstract
This article is a contribution to today’s stream of research studying the interests of employing a Haptics Coprocessing Unit (HPU) for force-feedback interaction, and possible core features and hardware/software architectures of such HPU. It introduces a force-feedback software framework, called CORDIS-In, powered by a DSP-based HPU. CORDIS-In’s design was driven so as to obtain a transportable platform, however able to provide very high dynamics force-feedback coupling. It provides time deterministic synchronous computing of any mass-interaction physics-based network, possibly at high simulation rates, high precision and programmability in adjusting the mechanical coupling of the user and the simulation through the device, and generic communication protocols with the host.
