Expression of 2DOF Fingertip Traction with 1DOF Lateral Skin Stretch
نویسندگان
چکیده
To reproduce the sensation of rubbing on a surface, we need to laterally stretch the skin of the fingertip with two degrees of freedom (2DOF). Unfortunately, it is difficult to develop a compact 2DOF device for the fingertip because at least two actuators are required. However, if we can perceive the rubbing sensation regardless of the skin stretching direction, a device with 1DOF is sufficient. This study used a lateral skin deforming device with 1DOF, and evaluated the realism of the sensation. We found that even when the direction of skin stretch was opposite or perpendicular to the finger movement, users still perceived it as natural.

Experimental Evidence of Lateral Skin Strain During Tactile Exploration
This paper describes an experimental platform for the study of stretch and compression of the human fingerpad skin during tactile exploration. A digital camera records the sequence of patterns created by a fingertip as it slides over a transparent surface with simple geometrical features. Skin deformation is measured with high temporal and spatial resolution by tracking anatomical landmarks on ...

This study proposes an adaptive control method of a weigh feeder. A weigh feeder dispenses material into a process at a precise rate, and it has been employed in industries, e.g., process control, cement manufacturing plants, food industry equipment, and so on. To introduce advanced control into industries, self-tuning controllers are designed for controlling a weigh feeder. Three difference co...
متن کاملTactile interface for stimulation of fingertip via lateral traction
Tactile displays are gaining recognition as new human-machine interfaces. This paper present a low-weight, single-axis tactile interface designed to stimulate the fingertip through lateral traction. It operates with two ultrasonic linear motors able to move a small plate in contact with the user’s fingertip. This miniature interface is capable of a wide range of stimulation signals due to its h...

A computationally efficient quasi-two-degree-of-freedom (Q2DOF) stochastic model and a stability analysis of barges in random seas are presented in this paper. Based on the deterministic 2DOF coupled Roll-Heave model with highdegree polynomial approximation of restoring forces and moments developed in Part I, an attempt is made to further reduce the DOF of the model for efficient stochastic sta...
متن کاملStudies of parametrically excited non-linear MDOF systems at parametric resonances
An increasing number of MEMS devices use parametric excitation (PE) to outperform conventional designs. These systems are operated at parametric resonance. Different to standard cases of resonance, at parametric resonances the vibration’s amplitudes increase faster and within a smaller interval. The amplification is much larger and only limited by non-linearities. So far the focus has mostly be...
