Force Feedback and Control Theory Applications in Haptic Interaction Systems

Abstract

With the rapid development of virtual reality, augmented reality, and remote operation technologies, force feedback-based tactile interaction has emerged as a key pathway for enhancing immersion and precision in human–computer interaction. This paper investigates the principles, implementation mechanisms, and practical challenges of force feedback systems from the perspective of robot control theory. Drawing on core concepts such as impedance control and hybrid force-position control, the study explores how these theoretical models underpin the design of stable and responsive haptic systems across application domains including telemedicine and industrial robotics. Through literature review and case analysis, this research reveals that while existing systems achieve impressive levels of realism and operability, they often lack robustness under real-world conditions such as network delay and dynamic environments. The study concludes by identifying limitations in current research, notably the absence of experimental validation, and calls for future development of adaptive algorithms, interdisciplinary approaches, and standardized evaluation frameworks to advance the effectiveness and reliability of force feedback technologies.
