The simulation, control, and evaluation of actuated car doors with one or more degrees of freedom (DOF) are comprehensively described. Virtual Reality Prototyping (VRP) with haptic feedback is proposed for the efficient development and evaluation of such doors. As universal framework for the simulation of actuated mechanisms, Active Admittance Control is introduced. For the support of the haptic interaction, generic path planning, collision avoidance, and intention recognition methods are developed. On this foundation, a variety of actuated car doors is simulated and evaluated at VRP test beds. The results are directly transferred to prototypes with two DOF and one DOF. Comprehensive user studies reveal the effectiveness of the proposed support methods and the predominant appreciation of these actuated car doors.
