Pseudo-haptic techniques are used to modify haptic perception by appropriately changing visual feedback to body movements. Based on the knowledge that tendon vibration can affect our somatosensory perception, this paper proposes a method…
Electrotactile feedback is a promising method for delivering haptic sensations, but challenges such as the naturalness of sensations hinder its adoption in commercial devices. In this study, we introduce a novel device that enables the…
Towards the grand challenge of achieving human-level manipulation in robots, playing piano is a compelling testbed that requires strategic, precise, and flowing movements. Over the years, several works demonstrated hand-designed controllers…
Virtual Reality (VR) users often encounter postural instability, i.e., balance issues, which can be a significant impediment to universal usability and accessibility, particularly for those with balance impairments. Prior research has…
Noisy vibrotactile signals transmitted during tactile explorations of an object provide precious information on the nature of its surface. Linking the properties of such vibrotactile signals to the way they are interpreted by the haptic…
Tactile information is a critical tool for dexterous manipulation. As humans, we rely heavily on tactile information to understand objects in our environments and how to interact with them. We use touch not only to perform manipulation…
Traditionally, clinicians use tuning forks as a binary measure to assess vibrotactile sensory perception. This approach has low measurement resolution, and the vibrations are highly variable. Therefore, we propose using vibrations from a…
In this work we present a new approach for the task of predicting fingerings for piano music. While prior neural approaches have often treated this as a sequence tagging problem with independent predictions, we put forward a checklist…
Although it has been shown that augmented multimodal feedback has a facilitatory effect on motor performance for motor learning and music training, the functionality of haptic feedback combined with other modalities in rhythmic movement…
Hand and finger movements are a mainstay of piano technique. Automatic Fingering from symbolic music data allows us to simulate finger and hand movements. Previous proposals achieve automatic piano fingering based on knowledge-driven or…
Human errors in performing security-critical tasks are typically blamed on the complexity of those tasks. However, such errors can also occur because of (possibly unexpected) sensory distractions. A sensory distraction that produces…
Piano playing requires agile, precise, and coordinated hand control that stretches the limits of dexterity. Hand motion models with the sophistication to accurately recreate piano playing have a wide range of applications in character…
