Low-Cost Electromechanical Actuator Arrays for Tactile Display Applications

Michael Karpelson, Rut Peña, Robert J. Wood

ICRA 2018poster

Dynamic tactile displays represent a class of haptic devices of particular interest to the blind and visually impaired. Despite many years of research and development efforts, the low-cost, low-power, compact tactile display remains elusive. This paper describes a low-cost electromechanical actuator…

Printing Strain Gauges on Intuitive Surgical da Vinci Robot End Effectors

Rut Peña, Michael J. Smith, Nicolas P. Ontiveros, Frank L. Hammond, Robert J. Wood

IROS 2018poster

Force feedback during robotic surgery is critical in order to minimize potential injury to the patient and decrease recovery time from surgical procedures. Here we describe the use of a novel strain gauge printing method to apply low profile, low cost sensors directly to the surface of da Vinci surg…
