Networked tank gunnery skill training based on haptic interaction

This paper introduces networked tank gunnery skill training based on haptic interaction. “Hand in hand” training mode is implemented by constructing a networked haptic display system. A teacher and a trainee can respectively manipulate his own haptic device to realize skill transferring. In this process, the trainee can experience the teacher's motor skill and can be corrected by the teacher. A local network is built to connect two haptic devices and computers. Two modes for tank gunnery skill training are designed in this system: haptic guidance and real-time correction. A prototype system is established to testify the effectiveness of such a new type “Hand in hand” training system.
