Multi Primitive Tactile Display Based on Suction Pressure Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new method for displaying touch sensation by controlling suction pressure. We discovered a tactile illusion that pulling skin through a hole with suction pressure causes a feeling as if a stick is pushing the skin. This illusion is considered to be caused by the insensitivity of our mechanoreceptors to signs of stress (negative or positive) that are sensitive to the strain energy. Our tactile display is based on the key concept of this illusion and that of “multi-primitive stimulation.” We show that a simple structure of a sparse stimulator array produces various tactile sensations from a sharp edge to a smooth plane surface.

A Cutaneous Feeling Display Using Suction Pressure
In this paper, we propose a novel tactile display by controlling suction pressure. The method is based on our discovery of an illusion that pulling a skin through a hole creates a sensation as if a stick is pushing the skin. Based on this property of perception and multi-primitive stimulation method, we confirmed that we can produce tactile sensation from concentrated pressure to smooth surface...
متن کاملEnhanced Tactile Feedback (Tele-Taction) Using a Multi-Functional Sensory System
The safe and economic exploitation of remote manipulation techniques is dependent on accurate, responsive handling abilities. This usually means the use of tele-operation, however, the construction and control of effective general purpose end-effectors remains complex, and tactile data collection by, and feedbock from these devices is at best primitive. This work studies the development of an a...
متن کاملTactile Display which Presensts Shear Deformation on Human Finger
This paper proposes a new tactile display to present shear deformation to the skin of human finger. For presenting the shear deformation of the finger, we fabricated a three-dimensional moving stage driven by the hydraulic actuators. For presenting different deformation under the condition of the same normal pressure, we used an air suction pad that can suck air. Using this air pad and the hydr...

This paper presents the design and modeling of a flexible tactile sensor, capable of detecting the 2D surface texture image, contact-force estimation and stiffness of the sensed object. The sensor is made of polymer materials. It consists of a cylindrical chamber for pneumatic actuation and a membrane with a mesa structure. The inner radius of the cylindrical chamber is 2cm and its outer radius...
متن کاملDesign Procedure and Simulation of a Novel Multi-Modal Tactile Display Device for Biomedical Applications
Tactile display is recently attracting much attention in the field of human computer interaction. There is a strong need for such a device especially for application in which the touch feeling is lost, such as surgeons willing to feel the tissue hardness during laparoscopic surgeries. In this paper, a novel multi-modal tactile display device which can display both surface shape and stiffness of...
