Multi-contact tactile exploration and interaction with unknown objects

Humans rely on the sense of touch in almost every aspect of daily life, whether to tie shoelaces, place fingertips on a computer keyboard or find keys inside a bag. With robots moving into human-centered environment, tactile exploration becomes more and mo ...

The effects of haptic-virtual reality game therapy on brain-motor coordination for children with hemiplegia: A pilot study

Mohamed Bouri

Children with hemiplegia have movements' difficulties especially in their upper limbs, these difficulties occur due to the loss of the communication between the brain and the affected side of the body. In this study, visual, audio, and tactile stimulation ...

Comparative Study of Haptic Interfaces for Bilateral Teleoperation of VTOL Aerial Robots

Felix Stephan Schill

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 ...

Multi-contact haptic exploration and grasping with tactile sensors

Aude Billard, Nicolas Sommer

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 ...

Wearable multimodal tactile interfaces for augmenting haptic perception

Simon Gallo

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 ...

A virtual tactile sensing suit for humanoids based on dynamic equations and internal sensors

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

In this article, we propose a multi-staged algorithm to detect the magnitude, direction and location of a single external force applied to a humanoid robot while performing dynamic tasks. We use contact force and joint torque sensors as well as IMU to esti ...

Design, manufacturing and implementation of a novel 2-axis force sensor for haptic applications

Reymond Clavel

Minimally invasive surgeries on the lungs have eliminated the ability for surgeons to place their hands on the patient's organ to feel for abnormalities. Therefore, in this paper, a force sensor for 2 degrees of freedom haptic applications is described. It ...
