Virtual and augmented reality systems that immerse users in a 3D environment could benefit from haptic (force and/or tactile) feedback to increase realism and task performance. A canonical task that cannot be achieved compellingly without haptic feedback is the grasp and lift of an object with mass.
When a person interacts with an environment using a tool, he/she receives tactile information in the form of fingerpad skin deformation. Different interaction forces and torques on the tool cause different skin deformation patterns on the fingerpads. We designed a 6-degree-of-freedom tactile device…
During robotic teleoperation, the dynamics of the master manipulators and the control of remote-side instruments impose challenges on the motor system of the human operator, and may impact performance and learning. In teleoperated robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, there is a clear correlati…
