UltraShiver: Lateral Force Feedback on a Bare Fingertip via Ultrasonic Oscillation and Electroadhesion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new lateral force feedback device, the UltraShiver, which employs a combination of in-plane ultrasonic oscillation (around 30 kHz) and out-of-plane electroadhesion. It can achieve a strong active lateral force (400 mN) on the bare fingertip while operating silently. The lateral force is a function of pressing force, lateral vibration velocity, and electroadhesive voltage, as well as the relative phase between the velocity and voltage. In this paper, we perform experiments to investigate characteristics of the UltraShiver and their influence on lateral force.

Tactile 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...
متن کاملEffect of blocking tactile information from the fingertips on adaptation and execution of grip forces to friction at the grasping surface.
Adaptation of fingertip forces to friction at the grasping surface is necessary to prevent use of inadequate or excessive grip forces. In the current study we investigated the effect of blocking tactile information from the fingertips noninvasively on the adaptation and efficiency of grip forces to surface friction during precision grasp. Ten neurologically intact subjects grasped and lifted an...
متن کاملThe tactile perception of transient changes in friction
When we touch an object or explore a texture, frictional strains are induced by the tactile interactions with the surface of the object. Little is known about how these interactions are perceived, although it becomes crucial for the nascent industry of interactive displays with haptic feedback (e.g. smartphones and tablets) where tactile feedback based on friction modulation is particularly rel...
متن کاملModeling and control of electroadhesion force in DC voltage
In this paper, a new model for electroadhesion between two surface-insulated plates under DC electric field is presented and control of dynamic responses of electroadhesion force is discussed. Under DC electric field, even if the voltage difference between the plates is constant, electroadhesion force increases or decreases over time depending on the insulating materials. The increase had been ...
متن کاملFriction model of fingertip sliding over wavy surface for friction-variable tactile feedback panel
A friction-variable touch panel is capable of presenting virtual bumps and holes on its flat surface through the control of the surface frictionwhen a fingertip slides over it. To improve thepresentation, we developed a friction model of a fingertip sliding over a sinusoidal surface with an amplitude of 0.5–2.5mm and a spatial wavelength of 20–50mm. When a metal ball rolls over a wavy surface w...
