We present a lightweight, low power, and compliant miniature dielectric fluid transducer intended for haptic surface display. The actuator has a large strain and fast response without an external compressor. It consists of a thin oil-filled pouch with a 1.5 mm diameter opening covered with a silicon
Based on the integrated design concept of using the robot's mechanical arm for both locomotion and manipulation, we proposed a compact and transformable robot, i.e. the WALS-Robot, which utilizes combination and switch among four components: wheels, arms, legs and suckers. The WALS-Robot could trans…
Simultaneous motion control of multiple joints has many potential applications such as Tai Chi, Yoga etc. The capability of vibrotactile cues to assist this kind of motor task has not been well explored. In this paper, we studied the effect of vibrotactile cues for guiding procedural motion of two j…
Tooth extraction is a typical process in clinical dental operations. Interactive haptic simulation of tooth extraction may provide a useful tool for dental students to learn the correct force pattern and tool posture to accomplish a safe tooth extraction. In this paper, we extended our previous conf…
