Abstract
This paper presents a virtual driving simulator using robotic devices as an example of human-machine systems to investigate dynamic properties of human movements in the operation of drive interfaces, such as steering wheels and transmission shifters. The simulator has virtual steering and transmission systems under variable impedance control, providing the operators with realistic operational response. Mechanical impedance parameters around the steering rotational axis were measured to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed simulator.
