Haptic graphs for blind computer users [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper we discuss the design of computer-based haptic graphs for blind and visually impaired people with the support of our preliminary experimental results.

IN-HAPTICS: Interactive navigation using haptics [PDF]

open access: yes2010 IEEE Haptics Symposium, 2010
We present a computational framework and experimental platform for robot navigation that allows for a user-friendly, graphical and haptic interaction with the human operator during the deployment process. The operator can see, feel, and manipulate the artificial potential field that drives the robot through an environment cluttered with obstacles.

Improved Sound Radiation of Flat Panel Loudspeakers Using the Local Air Spring Effect

open access: yesApplied 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

Getting in touch with children with autism: Specialist guidelines for a touch-perceiving robot

open access: yesPaladyn, 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 ...

Anatomical identification of a corticocortical top-down recipient inhibitory circuitry by enhancer-restricted transsynaptic tracing

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Normal and tangential forces combine to convey contact pressure during dynamic tactile stimulation

open access: yesScientific 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

Influence of Seat Vibration Frequency on Total Annoyance and Interaction Effects Caused by Simultaneous Noise and Seat Vibrations in Commercial Vehicles

open access: yesVibration, 2022
In vehicles, noise and seat vibrations can be perceived by the driver, depending on their signal properties, as annoying or unpleasant. Because perception is a complex process, it is necessary to consider both types of stimuli at the same time to assess ...

Web-based haptic applications for blind people to create virtual graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Haptic technology has great potentials in many applications. This paper introduces our work on delivery haptic information via the Web. A multimodal tool has been developed to allow blind people to create virtual graphs independently.

The effective combination of haptic and auditory textural information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
With the increasing availability and quality of auditory and haptic means of interaction, it is not unusual to incorporate many modalities in interfaces rather than the purely visual. The user can be powerfully affected however when information presented

Light or Deep Pressure: Medical Staff Members Differ Extensively in Their Tactile Stimulation During Preterm Apnea

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Background: Even though tactile stimulation is common practice to terminate preterm apnea, the style and intensity of these interventions is not specified during theoretical or practical training and has never been clinically evaluated.Objective: The ...
