Haptic Codec Task Group (P1918.1.1) IEEE P1918.1.1TM Mailing list Document Repository (members only) | Haptic Codecs Title: Haptic Codecs for the Tactile Internet Scope: This standard defines haptic codecs for the Tactile Internet (TI). These codecs address TI application scenarios where the human is in the loop (i.e. teleoperation or remote touch applications) as well as scenarios that rely on machine remote control. The standard defines (perceptual) data reduction algorithms and schemes for both closed-loop (kinesthetic information exchange) and open-loop (tactile information exchange) communication. These codecs are designed such that they can be combined with stabilizing control and local communication architectures for time-delayed teleoperation. Further, the standard also specifies mechanisms and protocols for the exchange of the capabilities (e.g. workspace, the number of degrees of freedom, amplitude range, temporal and spatial resolution, etc.) of the haptic devices. Purpose: This standard provides haptic codecs for the Tactile Internet enabling the interoperability of different haptic (kinesthetic and tactile) input and output devices. Such interoperability is necessary to achieve necessary market scale in the realization of Tactile Internet technologies, devices and applications. Need for the Project: Tactile Internet applications require standardized haptic codecs that enable interoperability among multiple haptic interfaces. For closed-loop communication, the codecs need to be jointly designed with the control and local communications architecture required for time-delayed teleoperation. For open-loop communication, although the exchange of tactile information is less time critical, it is nevertheless essential to standardize codecs for the emerging tactile sensing and feedback devices (e.g. tactile displays, tactile gloves, etc.). How to Participate? This standard will be developed by the Haptic Codec Task Group (P1918.1.1) of the IEEE Tactile Internet Working Group (P1918.1).
