A Wearable Exoskeleton for Hand Kinesthetic Feedback in Virtual Reality
2020This paper presents a novel two-fingers exoskeleton kinesthetic interaction in Virtual Reality (VR): the proposed design of the exoskeleton prioritizes the performance of the device in terms of low weight, good adaptability to different size of the human hand. This design made also the exoskeleton well wearable and allows strong force feedback which is

Comparison of kinesthetic and skin deformation feedback for mass rendering
2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016Virtual and augmented reality systems that immerse users in a 3D environment could benefit from haptic (force and/or tactile) feedback to increase realism and task performance. A canonical task that cannot be achieved compellingly without haptic feedback is the grasp and lift of an object with mass.

Teleoperation of Steerable Flexible Needles by Combining Kinesthetic and Vibratory Feedback
IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2014Needle insertion in soft-tissue is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that demands high accuracy. In this respect, robotic systems with autonomous control algorithms have been exploited as the main tool to achieve high accuracy and reliability. However, for reasons of safety and responsibility, autonomous robotic control is often not desirable ...

Conveying virtual tactile feedback via augmented kinesthetic stimulation
Proceedings 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2007In real object manipulation, the deformation of the fingerpads along the contact surfaces provides local information about the geometry of the object the subject is manipulating, even in absence of vision and any exploratory movement. In virtual reality with haptic feedback this kind of stimulation is not available because the haptic devices currently ...

Vibrotactile feedback for aiding robot kinesthetic teaching of manipulation tasks
2017 26th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2017Kinesthetic teaching is a viable solution for programming robots in the execution of new tasks thanks to the human-mediated mapping between the task objectives and the robot joint space. Redundant designs and differences from human kinematics pose challenges in the efficient execution of the teaching task.

Contactless Kinesthetic Feedback to Support Handwriting Using Magnetic Force
IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2021Handwriting is a fundamental human skill that is essential for communication yet is one of the most complex skills to be mastered. Pen-based interaction with touchscreen devices are increasingly used in digital handwriting practices to simulate pen and paper experience, but are mostly based on auditory-visual feedback.

Enhancing the Simulation of Boundaries by Coupling Tactile and Kinesthetic Feedback
2014Haptic enhanced boundaries are important for touch interaction. We quantify the amount of perceived force increment caused by adding variable friction tactile feedback to force feedback in simulating a boundary. We find that using a small lateral force feedback plus a tactile feedback can simulate a boundary which feels as stiff as that simulated by a ...

Generating Kinesthetic Feedback Using Self Contact and Velocity Scaling
2021 IEEE World Haptics Conference (WHC), 2021Despite the considerable technological progress of haptic technology in recent years, to date there are still no wearable systems capable of providing both kinesthetic and cutaneous feedback that are universally recognized and adopted outside the research contexts.
