WIREs Cognitive Science, 2013 AbstractFueled by novel applications, interest in haptic perception is growing. This paper provides an overview of the state of the art of a number of important aspects of haptic perception. By means of touch we can not only perceive quite different material properties, such as roughness, compliance, friction, coldness and slipperiness, but we can also

Applied Sciences, 2021 Flat panel loudspeakers are a promising alternative to conventional loudspeakers. In particular, quasi-omnidirectional radiation at higher frequencies is stressed as an advantage of these systems compared to conventional speaker systems.

Endowing a NAO Robot With Practical Social-Touch Perception
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 Social touch is essential to everyday interactions, but current socially assistive robots have limited touch-perception capabilities. Rather than build entirely new robotic systems, we propose to augment existing rigid-bodied robots with an external ...

Free and Forced Vibration Modes of the Human Fingertip
Applied Sciences, 2021 Computational analysis of free and forced vibration responses provides crucial information on the dynamic characteristics of deformable bodies. Although such numerical techniques are prevalently used in many disciplines, they have been underutilized in ...

Proceedings of the 2019 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces, 2019 Interaction on the surface usually limited in mechanical movement and does not have surface texture, which results in a lack of haptic feedback. Various techniques have been introduced to supplement this limitation. The main objective of this tutorial is to let the ISS community experience those technologies in hand. By its nature, the haptic interface

Improved Sound Radiation of Flat Panel Loudspeakers Using the Local Air Spring Effect
Applied Sciences, 2020 The low-frequency performance of exciter-driven flat-panel loudspeakers is technically challenging. The lower modal density results in high deviations in the frequency response, and dips of more than 20 dB are possible. This paper presents an alternative

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023 Despite the importance of postsynaptic inhibitory circuitry targeted by mid/long-range projections (e.g., top-down projections) in cognitive functions, its anatomical properties, such as laminar profile and neuron type, are poorly understood owing to the

Getting in touch with children with autism: Specialist guidelines for a touch-perceiving robot
Paladyn, 2020 Children with autism need innovative solutions that help them learn to master everyday experiences and cope with stressful situations. We propose that socially assistive robot companions could better understand and react to a child’s needs if they ...

Normal and tangential forces combine to convey contact pressure during dynamic tactile stimulation
Scientific Reports, 2022 Humans need to accurately process the contact forces that arise as they perform everyday haptic interactions such as sliding the fingers along a surface to feel for bumps, sticky regions, or other irregularities. Several different mechanisms are possible
