This paper presents a control framework for always-passive, plasticity-based virtual fixtures designed to assist human manipulation through haptic interfaces. The innovative virtual fixture system behaves like a rigid wall under small user forces, but allows for controlled deviation when forces exceed a predetermined threshold. This framework is compatible with both admittance-type and impedance-type haptic systems. The research contributes to the development of safer and more intuitive haptic guidance in human-machine interactions, enhancing user experience in various applications.
