This paper describes a new bi-elastic fabric-based display for rendering softness. Bi-elastic means that the fabric exhibits properties which render it elastic in at least two substantially perpendicular directions, and preferably in all directions. The device described here is based on tissue stretch to provide different levels of softness. More specifically, a thin layer of bi-elastic fabric is placed on the top of a hollow cylinder and tied to an external circular crown which can be moved up and down, relaxing or stretching the fabric. A camera placed just beneath the fabric allows for the measurement of the contact area involved in the haptic exploration. The system is also endowed with a graphical user interface, which gives a real-time visual rendering of the interaction of the fingertip with the display. In this paper, design, realization and control implementation are discussed, and performance of the display is evaluated by means of a set of psychophysical tests. We also compare performance in terms of softness perception of different simulated materials with that obtained using another softness display.

This paper demonstrates a system for 3D force prediction using fingernail imaging, in which video images of the human fingernail are used to predict the normal and shear forces that occur when the finger is in contact with a flat surface. The automated calibration uses a magnetic levitation haptic device (MLHD) whose flotor has been modified to apply forces to the human fingerpad. The system accurately predicts forces with an RMS error of 0.3N normal force, 6% of the full range of 10N, and a shear force error of 0.3N, 3% of the full range of ±2.5N. This paper also demonstrates that varying the number of pixels used to represent the finger between 100 and 500 pixels has little effect on the results, indicating that a real-time application could use low-resolution images without loss of accuracy.

Apraxic stroke patients need to perform repetitive arm movements to regain motor functionality, but they struggle to process the visual feedback provided by typical virtual rehabilitation systems. Instead, we imagine a low cost sleeve that can measure the movement of the upper limb and provide tactile feedback at key locations. The feedback provided by the tactors should guide the patient through a series of desired movements by allowing him or her to feel limb configuration errors at each instant in time. After discussing the relevant motion capture and actuator options, this paper describes the design and programming of our current prototype, a wearable tactile interface that uses magnetic motion tracking and shaftless eccentric mass motors. The sensors and actuators are attached to the sleeve of an athletic shirt with novel plastic caps, which also help focus the vibration on the user's skin. We connect the motors in current drive for improved performance, and we present a full parametric model for their in situ dynamic response (acceleration output given current input).

Modern software development requires harnessing rich complex APIs allowing much more sophisticated and creative systems to be designed. End user web-based programming has manifested itself today in mashups, most often a page or server-side application that pulls together content, data models and functionality from diverse sources and combines them in a generative manner as a new application or web service. The nature of a mashup implies a certain style of software coding, one that is fast, with easy integration using open application programming interfaces (APIs) to produce results that are intentional from the point of view of the application developer but can be unexpected and surprising from the point of view of the API designers.

In this paper, we propose a new concept of haptic exploration using a mobile manipulation system, which combines the mobility and manipulability of the robot with haptic feedback for user interaction. The system utilizes and integrates heterogeneous robotic sensor readings to create a real-time spatial model of the environment, which in turn can be conveyed to the user to explore the haptically represented environment and spatially perceive the world without direct contact. The real-world values are transformed into an environmental model (an internal map) by the sensors, and the environmental model is used to create environmental feedback on the haptic device which interacts in the haptically augmented space. Through this multi-scale convergence of dynamic sensor data and haptic interaction, our goal is to enable real-time exploration of the world through remote interfaces without the use of predefined world models. In this paper, the system algorithms and platform are discussed, along with preliminary results to show the capabilities of the system.

In the past five years, how to utilize the haptics technology in the mobile device to improve its limited user interface has emerged as an attractive research topic. In this paper, we report two kinds of perceptual data related to vibrotactile signals perceived through a mobile device held in the hand. In Experiment I, we estimated perceptual dissimilarities between sinusoidal vibrations with seven frequencies in 40–250 Hz and two amplitudes of 30 and 40 dB SL. Multi-dimensional scaling was then applied to the perceptual distances, and led to a two-dimensional perceptual space. In the perceptual space, the vibrations of the two amplitudes formed distinct groups. The two groups showed similar structures with respect to the frequency variation. In particular, two perceptual dimensions that spanned a low frequency range (40–100 Hz) and a high frequency range (100–250 Hz) were close to be orthogonal. In Experiment II, we evaluated the subjective qualities of sinusoidal vibrations with different frequencies via adjective rating. Thirteen adjective pairs were carefully selected, and rated for the sinusoidal vibrations played through the mobile device. The results were regressed to the perceptual space, revealing several adjective pairs that can largely account for the distributions of vibration points in the perceptual space, such as ‘dark-bright,’ ‘dull-clear,’ ‘slow-fast,’ ‘vague-distinct,’ ‘thick-thin,’ and ‘heavy-light.’ The findings of this paper can help understand the perceptual characteristics and subjective impressions of mobile device vibrations.
在过去的五年中,如何利用移动设备中的触觉技术来改善其有限的用户界面已经成为一个有吸引力的研究课题。在本文中,我们报告了两种与通过手持移动设备感知的振动触觉信号相关的感知数据。在实验1中,我们估计了40 - 250 Hz的7个频率和30和40 dB SL两个振幅的正弦振动之间的感知差异,然后对感知距离进行多维缩放,从而得到二维感知空间。在感知空间中,这两个振幅的振动形成了不同的群体。两组在频率变化方面表现出相似的结构。特别是,跨越低频范围(40-100赫兹)和高频范围(100-250赫兹)的两个感知维度接近正交。在实验二中,我们通过形容词评定来评价不同频率正弦振动的主观质量。13对形容词经过精心挑选,并对通过移动设备播放的正弦振动进行评级。结果被回归到感知空间,揭示了几个形容词对,这些形容词对可以很大程度上解释感知空间中振动点的分布,如“暗-亮”、“暗-清”、“慢-快”、“模糊-清晰”、“厚-薄”和“重-轻”。“这篇论文的发现有助于理解移动设备振动的感知特征和主观印象。”

A novel method is presented for unconditional stability analysis of dual-user teleoperation systems. The method is based on the application of Llewellyn's criterion to an equivalent two-port network of the system. Unlike unconditional stability of single-user systems which depends on the multi-port network parameters, the unconditional stability of dual-user systems also depends on the network port termination, in this case the environment impedance. The proposed robust stability analysis method is examined on two multilateral shared control architectures previously developed in [11, 12].

This paper describes a novel method to indicate tactile sensation through a PC mouse using friction control applying surface acoustic wave (SAW). For the friction control, a wave-circulating SAW transducer is proposed. In the structure, the wave excited by the oscillator can circulate around the substrate surface to improve energy efficiency. In this research, a tactile mouse, which is a computer mouse with tactile feedback, is proposed. The tactile feedback applying the friction control is described. The friction between the mouse and a mouse pad can be controlled by mechanical vibration of the SAW. Fabrication and characteristics of the SAW transducer are indicated. Successful work of the tactile mouse is also reported.

Fast and efficient algorithms are paramount in any real-time multimodal interactive simulation involving soft deformable objects. To achieve real time computational rates, it is expedient to adaptively refine the simulation mesh in the vicinity of the interaction region instead of using a uniformly refined mesh. While appealing, such an approach is difficult to implement as the system of linear algebraic equations changes during the course of the simulation as the interaction region is dynamically updated. A direct solution approach for the discretized system of equations is, of course, computationally expensive hence iterative approaches must be pursued. In this paper, we present a novel two-grid computational methodology that uses pre-computed solution on a coarse grid representation of the geometry and a prolongation operator that transfers the coarse grid solution to a locally refined fine grid to generate the initial guess for a Gauss-Seidel type iterative solver. A local relaxation approach is then introduced that preferentially relaxes the local and global residuals and vastly improves computational efficiency, especially with increasing number of degrees of freedom of the mesh. Example problems demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

In this paper, we describe the design and evaluation of a vibrotactile driver's seat that is used to display spatial information during two driving tasks. Many studies have recently shown the effectiveness of haptic and vibrotactile feedback to augment collision warning systems in automobiles. Simultaneously, driver distraction and situational awareness have been identified as significant safety issues in all areas of transportation. We hypothesize that vibrotactile feedback may be used to enhance and improve spatial awareness while driving if it is used continuously and naturally so that it is part of the normal operation of the automobile.
