Remotely controlled hydraulically driven robots are expected to play an important role in extreme environments such as disaster sites, and force feedback is effective for improving the fidelity of the remote environment and the work efficiency. However, it is not reasonable to attach a force sensor…
Unnoticed collisions compromise the success of remote exploratory tasks with mobile robots. We propose a vibrotactile stimulation method to represent frontal collisions that is based on the way people perceive impacts on a bar held with both hands. We observed that to estimate the impact point in a…
Disaster response robots for searching in a narrow area have limited space to mount tactile sensors, but the operators require sensory feedback to recognize contact situations with the surrounding environment. This study proposes a new approach to transmitting contact information of a remote-operate…
