This paper describes development of a haptic interface using a laser range finder. The system consists of a laser range finder, a 1 degree-of-freedom haptic apparatus and a computer. The haptic apparatus can generate a reaction force based on a distance to a remote object that is measured by the laser range finder. A user can feel the shape of a remote object by holding this interface and pointing...
Temperature-dependence of a reflected wavelength of Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) was controlled using polyethylene Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP). It is shown the FRP is ideal to athermalize the FBGs. The method to control the absolute wavelength of the FBG is also reported.
