Applying forces to elastic network models of large biomolecules using a haptic feedback device [PDF]

, 2011
Elastic network models of biomolecules have proved to be relatively good at predicting global conformational changes particularly in large systems. Software that facilitates rapid and intuitive exploration of conformational change in elastic network ...

Development of SCARA-Type Haptic Device for Electrostatic Non-Contact Handling System

Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2008
This paper describes the development of a SCARA-type haptic device, which will be used to assist a human operator in non-contact object handling of silicon wafers using electrostatic levitation. The device has three degrees of freedom, of which only one (

Haptic dancing: human performance at haptic decoding with a vocabulary [PDF]

, 2003
The inspiration for this study is the observation that swing dancing involves coordination of actions between two humans that can be accomplished by pure haptic signaling. This study implements a leader-follower dance to be executed between a human and a

The structure of frontoparallel haptic space is task dependent [PDF]

, 2006
In three experiments, we investigated the structure of frontoparallel haptic space. In the first experiment, we asked blindfolded participants to rotate a matching bar so that it felt parallel to the reference bar, the bars could be at various positions ...

Joint vibrotactile coding for machine recognition and human perception

Tongxin xuebao, 2023
In order to accurately transmit the content meaning of vibrotactile signals and achieve intelligent recognition and signal reconstruction, a joint vibrotactile coding scheme for machine recognition and human perception was proposed.At the encoding end ...

Haptic perception of virtual roughness [PDF]

, 2001
The texture of a virtual surface can both increase the sense of realism of an object as well as convey information about object identity, type, location, function, and so on.

Multiscale Textile‐Based Haptic Interactions

Advanced Intelligent Systems
Wearable haptic devices transmit information via touch receptors in the skin, yet devices located on parts of the body with high densities of receptors, such as fingertips and hands, impede interactions. Other locations that are well‐suited for wearables,
