MA1-2 Electrotactile Display for Integration with Kinesthetic Display
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this study is to develop a haptic interface for dexterous manipulation. To achieve this, we proposed electrotactile-kinesthetic integration. Our electrotactile display presents natural touch sensations of objects. In addition, this display is so small that it is considered to not affect the moving range of fingers. The haptic interface for dexterous manipulation is realized by mounting it on a kinesthetic display having a wide workspace. The electrotactile display on the integrated haptic interface is used actively. Therefore, we actively evaluated the performances of the electrotactile display on the single-fingered prototype system. The results revealed the present performance of the system. Subsequently, it also shows the possibility of further improving of the haptic interface by devising an electrotactile rendering method.

Electrotactile Stimulation Based on Strain Energy Density of the Fingertip
The shape recognition of an object is important for dexterous manipulation by humans. Therefore, we have developed a haptic display that integrates both electrotactile and kinesthetic sensations to present shape information. However, the electrotactile display only presents the contact field between the object and the fingertip. Therefore, we propose a method of electrotactile stimulation using...
متن کاملIntegration of a Particle Jamming Tactile Display with a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot
Integration of a tactile display onto the end effector of a robot allows free-hand exploration of an encountered-type environment that provides both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback. A novel tactile display approach, called Haptic Jamming, uses a combination of particle jamming and pneumatics to control the stiffness and shape of a surface. The tactile display mounts to the cable-driven platf...
متن کاملPattern Identification on a Fingertip-scanned Electrotactile Display
Six subjects participated in a study to determine their ability to identify simple geometric patterns on a 49-point fingertip-scanned electrotactile display and on an array of Braille-like raised dots. While raised dot performance (97.2%) was better than electrotactile (78.5%), this study represents the first successful demonstration of electrical stimulation of tactile patterns on the fingertips.

متن کاملElectrotactile stimulation relevant to sensory-motor rehabilitation: a progress report.
Several artificial sensory augmentation systems (ASAS) have been developed in recent years to compensate for loss of function in the visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic senses . These ASA systems, which use either electrical or mechanical cutaneous stimulation as the display modality, have amplitude, frequency, and pulse width as the design concepts (Bach-y-Rita et al ., 1970: Saunders e...
