Keywords Abstract

Closely coupled haptic collaboration for the interactive molecular deformation Philippe Tarroux Mehdi Ammi Université Paris Sud, France CNRS–LIMSI laboratory, France 12th March 2012 Jean-Daniel Fekete, Permanent senior researcher (chairman) Jean-Marie Burkhardt, Permanent senior researcher (reviewer) Indira Thouvenin, Professor (reviewer) Marc Baaden, Permanent researcher (examiner) Paul Richard, Associate Professor (examiner) Abdulmotaleb el Saddik, Professor (examiner) Philippe Tarroux, Professor (advisor) Mehdi Ammi, Associate Professor (co-advisor) molecular docking, haptic communication, closely coupled collaboration, haptic interaction Molecular docking is a complex problem for one person. We propose to study the cognitive distribution of the workload in a collaborative configuration. A distributed platform for the molecular deformation has been developed to study the closely coupled collaboration. Three experimental studies confirm the pertinence of the collaborative configuration for closely coupled collaboration. However, we observe coordination and communication conflicts. Based on these results, we developed tools to assist the collaboration through haptic communication. A last experimentation with bio-informaticians showed the gain of efficiency with the help of these haptic communication tools.
