Multi-Channel Vibrotactile Display for Teleoperated Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the design and testing of a multi-channel vibrotactile display. It is composed of a cylindrical handle with four embedded vibrating elements driven by piezoelectric beams. Vibrations are transmitted to the hands through arrays of pins. The device was tested in sensory substitution for conveying force information during a teleoperated peg insertion. Results show that the device is effective in reducing peak forces during the insertion task.

Temporal and spatio-temporal vibrotactile displays for voice fundamental frequency: an initial evaluation of a new vibrotactile speech perception aid with normal-hearing and hearing-impaired individuals.
Four experiments were performed to evaluate a new wearable vibrotactile speech perception aid that extracts fundamental frequency (F0) and displays the extracted F0 as a single-channel temporal or an eight-channel spatio-temporal stimulus. Specifically, we investigated the perception of intonation (i.e., question versus statement) and emphatic stress (i.e., stress on the first, second, or third...
متن کاملUsing Vibrotactile Cues for Virtual Contact and Data Display in Tandem
In this paper, we present a treatment of the issues that must be addressed in using vibrotactile cues for multiple purposes within a single simulation system. Similar to the problem of overloading the visual channel in typical graphical user interfaces, care must be taken to keep the added cognitive load devoted to the vibrotactile channel of the user to a minimum. Vibrotactile cues are typical...

This work was motivated by our interest in using the sense of touch as an alternative communication channel for sensory substitution. Previous research has demonstrated that some deafand-blind individuals can receive conversational English at almost normal rates using the Tadoma method, in which the user places a hand on the face and neck of a talker and monitors the mechanical actions associat...
متن کاملA Multi-objective Mixed Model Two-sided Assembly Line Sequencing Problem in a Make –To- Order Environment with Customer Order Prioritization
Mixed model two-sided assembly lines (MM2SAL) are applied to assemble large product models, which is produced in high-volume. So, the sequence planning of products to reduce cost and increase productivity in this kind of lines is imperative. The presented problem is tackled in two steps. In step 1, a framework is developed to select and prioritize customer orders under the finite capacity of th...
متن کاملEffects of multi-directional vibrotactile feedback on vestibular-deficient postural performance during continuous multi-directional support surface perturbations.
Single-axis vibrotactile feedback of trunk tilt provided in real-time has previously been shown to significantly reduce the root-mean-square (RMS) trunk sway in subjects with vestibular loss during single-axis perturbation. This research examines the effect of multi-directional vibrotactile feedback on postural sway during continuous multi-directional surface perturbations when the subjects' ey...
