An investigation of haptic feedback effects in telepresent microassembly

New manufacturing techniques are being continuously developed to facilitate producing micro parts and products. However, the assembly of these parts becomes very demanding when it comes to manual assembly, e. g. the assembly of prototypes or small batch sizes. The implementation of telepresence technology for such a task segment is a promising solution. This paper discusses the influences of haptic feedback for telepresent micro assembly. Furthermore, an experiment for haptic learning is described.
