Development of Wearable Micro-Actuator Array for 3-D Virtual Tactile Displays
A novel 4 by 4 array of electromagnetic micro-actuators operating on the principle of voice-coil actuators is presented. The intended application of the array is dynamic tactile stimulation, where multiple actuators generate an illusion of touching a moving pattern. In comparison to earlier designs [1-3], the device has smaller dimensions of 2.28 mm in diameter and 7 mm in length, which allowed...
متن کاملMobile Multi-actuator Tactile Displays
The potential of using the sense of touch to communicate information in mobile devices is receiving more attention because of the limitations of graphical displays in such situations. However, most applications only use a single actuator to present vibrotactile information. In an effort to create richer tactile feedback and mobile applications that make use of the entire hand and multiple finge...
متن کاملShape Memory Alloy Actuator Controller Design for Tactile Displays
This paper describes the design of a controller for a tactile shape display for dexterous telemanipulation applications. This device consists of an array of pin elements which rest against the human finger tip. Shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators raise individual pins to approximate the desired surface shape on the skin. To overcome the slow response times of SMA actuators we have implement...
متن کاملEnabling Wearable Soft Tactile Displays with Electroactive Smart Elastomers
The use of virtual images, computer generated objects and 3D models is becoming increasingly relevant in a number of fields such as simulators for training of medical operator [1], teleoperation [2], computer aided design and 3D modelling [3]. For instance, virtual reality can help training surgeons, reducing the need for learning and practicing entirely with patients or animals[4]. To this aim...
