Abstract A haptic simulation environment to simulate planar three-degree-of-freedom motion has been developed by the authors. The system consists of a novel parallel manipulandum and associated control, collision detection and dynamic simulation software running on a QNX PC. This paper describes haptic interface control and outlines the control systems that have been designed for the haptic rendering of virtual environments. Virtual environment design and implementation are also discussed. Using the haptic simulation environment that has been developed, a four-channel teleoperation architecture is shown to be an effective means to display a variety of simulated environments and is compared with a popular impedance-based approach.

Introduction: Successful monitoring of environmental parameters requires the development of flexible software complexes with evolvable calculation functionality. Purpose: Developing a modular system for numerical simulation of atmospheric laser gas analysis. Results: Based on differential absorption method, a software system has been developed which provides the calculation of molecular absorption cross-sections, molecular absorption coefficients, atmospheric transmission spectra, and lidar signals. Absorption line contours are calculated using the Voigt profile. The prior information sources are HITRAN spectroscopic databases and statistical models of the distribution of temperature, pressure and gas components in the atmosphere. For modeling lidar signals, software blocks of calculating the molecular scattering coefficient and aerosol absorption/scattering coefficients were developed. For testing the applicability of various laser sources in the problems of environmental monitoring of the atmosphere, a concentration reconstruction error calculation block was developed for the atmospheric gas components, ignoring the interfering absorption of laser radiation by foreign gases. To verify the correct functioning of the software, a program block was developed for comparing the results of the modeling of atmospheric absorption and transmission spectra by using the standard SPECTRA information system. The discrepancy between the calculation of the atmospheric transmission spectra obtained using the developed system as compared to the SPECTRA results is less than 1%. Thus, a set of the presented program blocks allows you to carry out complex modeling of remote atmospheric gas analysis. Practical relevance: The software complex allows you to rapidly assess the possibilities of using a wide range of laser radiation sources for the problems of remote gas analysis.
