Haptic Feedback Control of a Smart Wheelchair [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2012
The haptic feedback, which is natural in assistive devices intended for visually impaired persons, has been only recently explored for people with motor disability. The aim of this work is to study its potential, particularly for assistance in the driving of powered wheelchairs. After a review of the literature for the previous related work, we present

Enhancing haptic feedback of subsurfaces during needle insertion

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2018
Haptic feedback can be helpful for accurate needle insertion but is complicated by friction on the needle shaft. Concepts to directly measure the forces at the needle tip exist but cause additional cost and complexity.

Learning to Represent Haptic Feedback for Partially-Observable Tasks

open access: yes, 2017
The sense of touch, being the earliest sensory system to develop in a human body [1], plays a critical part of our daily interaction with the environment.

A Survey on the Use of Haptic Feedback for Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neurofeedback

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Neurofeedback (NF) and brain-computer interface (BCI) applications rely on the registration and real-time feedback of individual patterns of brain activity with the aim of achieving self-regulation of specific neural substrates or control of external ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Chemically Doped Conductive Polymers for Wearable Health Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Among conductive polymers, poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polyaniline (PANI), and polypyrrole (PPy) are the most studied and applied. Chemical doping significantly boosts intrinsic conductivity and mechanical robustness.

Application of an Intuitive, Glove-type Remote Control with Haptic Feedback to Quadcopters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Although remote controllers for drones, based upon a classic two-joystick architecture, are unwieldy, they still see widespread use. As a replacement, we propose a remote control with a glove-based architecture that utilizes haptic feedback from the ...

Rendering volumetric haptic shapes in mid-air using ultrasound:Proceedings of ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a method for creating three-dimensional haptic shapes in mid-air using focused ultrasound. This approach applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby the non-linear effects of sound produce forces on the skin which are strong ...

Passive Shape‐Adaptive Fluidic Interface for Enhanced Skin‐Sensor Coupling in Wearable Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a passive fluidic interface for wearable biosensors that adapts to static and dynamic body shape changes to maintain consistent skin contact. Flexible, fluid‐filled pouches redistribute pressure from high‐load areas to regions requiring improved contact, enhancing signal quality and comfort in a compact, low‐energy design for ...
