Haptic exploration has received a great deal of attention of late thanks to the variety of commercially available tactile sensors. While the majority of previous works consider control of a single contact point at a time, we tackle simultaneous control of ...
The latest wearable technologies demand more intuitive and sophisticated interfaces for communication, sensing, and feedback closer to the body. Evidently, such interfaces require flexibility and conformity without losing their functionality even on rigid ...
Haptic feedback has been used to faithfully restitute the haptic sense lacking during telemanipulation, but also for providing auxiliary information via the haptic channel to restore functional perception of missing or damaged senses, e.g. sensory substitu ...
Force feedback is a powerful sensory cue that can provide a user, remotely teleoperating a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aerial robotic vehicle, with an enhanced perception of the robot motion and interaction with the local environment. The accepted ...
Although during the last decades, the dexterity of active myoelectric-controlled prosthesis has made significant progress, there is still no or very limited sensory feedback in the commercial prosthesis. Sensory feedback is important for active prosthesis ...
We designed a miniature multimodal actuator by combining servomotors and vibrators. The actuator is mainly designed to non-invasively deliver tactile information to human skin by high-frequency vibration and low-frequency pressures simultaneously. By utili ...
A multimodal haptic device operating as a closed-loop system, the device including a pipeline configured to allow a closed-loop flow of a fluid medium, a manifold operatively connected to the pipeline, the manifold having a pump and a valve to control and ...
Spinal cord injuries disrupt bidirectional communication between the patient's brain and body. Here, we demonstrate a new approach for reproducing lower limb somatosensory feedback in paraplegics by remapping missing leg/foot tactile sensations onto the sk ...
In this paper, we propose a novel architecture to estimate external forces applied to a compliantly controlled balancing robot in simulations. We use similar dynamics equations used in the controller to find mismatches in the available sensory data and ass ...
Tactile displays have a wide range of applications in assistive technology, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. Vibrotactile stimulation shows potential to be integrated into wearable devices because of its small size, low power consumption, and relative fast ...
