Humans rely on touch and tactile sensing for a lot of dexterous manipulation tasks. Our tactile sensing provides us with a lot of information regarding contact formations as well as geometric information about objects during any…
The use of vibrotactile feedback is of growing interest in the field of prosthetics, but few devices fully integrate this technology in the prosthesis to transmit high-frequency contact information (such as surface roughness and first…
As the largest organ in the human body, the skin provides the important sensory channel for humans to receive external stimulations based on touch. By the information perceived through touch, people can feel and guess the properties of…
In this paper we document a novel laboratory experimental platform for non-contact planar manipulation (positioning) of millimeter-scale objects using acoustic pressure. The manipulated objects are either floating on a water surface or…
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…
Wearable distributed tactile devices aim to provide multipoint touch stimuli, but struggle to provide sufficient forces (> 1 N) at frequencies to invoke deep pressure sensation with minimal encumbrance at small scales. This work presents a…
Stretchable sensors indicate promising prospects for soft robotics, medical devices, and human-machine interactions due to the high compliance of soft materials. Discrete sensing strategies, including sensor arrays and distributed sensors,…
Tactile sensing is critical for humans to perform everyday tasks. While significant progress has been made in analyzing object grasping from vision, it remains unclear how we can utilize tactile sensing to reason about and model the…
Friction modulation allows for a range of different sensations and textures to be simulated on flat touchscreens, yet is largely unable to render fundamental tactile interactions such as path following or shape discrimination due to lack of…
Tactile sensing is used in robotics to obtain real-time feedback during physical interactions. Fine object manipulation is a robotic application that benefits from a high density of sensors to accurately estimate object pose, whereas a low…
An advanced system of sensors/actuators should allow the direct feedback of a sensed signal into an actuation, e.g., an action potential propagation through an axon or a special cell activity might be sensed and suppressed by an actuator…
We introduce Vib2Move, a novel approach for in-hand object reconfiguration that uses fingertip micro-vibrations and gravity to precisely reposition planar objects. Our framework comprises three key innovations. First, we design a…
Object properties perceived through the tactile sense, such as weight, friction, and slip, greatly influence motor control during manipulation tasks. However, the provision of tactile information during robotic training in…
The growing adoption of extended reality (XR) has increased demand for wearable technologies that provide naturalistic tactile sensations while allowing users to interact freely with their environments using bare fingers. However, most…
Robotic hands offer advanced manipulation capabilities, while their complexity and cost often limit their real-world applications. In contrast, simple parallel grippers, though affordable, are restricted to basic tasks like pick-and-place.…
Misdiagnosis can result in delayed treatment and patient harm. Robotic patient simulators (robopatients) provide a controlled framework for training and evaluating clinicians in rare and complex cases. We investigate auditory tactile…
Existing techniques for motion imitation often suffer a certain level of latency due to their computational overhead or a large set of correspondence samples to search. To achieve real-time imitation with small latency, we present a…
This article focuses on the prediction of the vibration frequency response of handheld probes. A novel approach that involves machine learning and readily available data from probes was explored. Vibration probes are efficient and…
Haptic rendering of weight plays an essential role in naturalistic object interaction in virtual environments. While kinesthetic devices have traditionally been used for this aim by applying forces on the limbs, tactile interfaces acting on…
Recently, tactile sensing has attracted great interest in robotics, especially for facilitating exploration of unstructured environments and effective manipulation. A detailed understanding of the surface textures via tactile sensing is…
