Tactile Perception Technologies and Their Applications in Minimally Invasive Surgery: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been the preferred surgery approach owing to its advantages over conventional open surgery. As a major limitation, the lack of tactile perception impairs the ability of surgeons in tissue distinction and maneuvers ...

Contact of a Finger on Rigid Surfaces and Textiles: Friction Coefficient and Induced Vibrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The tactile information about object surfaces is obtained through perceived contact stresses and frictioninduced vibrations generated by the relative motion between the fingertip and the touched object.

Improved speech intelligibility in the presence of congruent vibrotactile speech input

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Vibrotactile stimulation is believed to enhance auditory speech perception, offering potential benefits for cochlear implant (CI) users who may utilize compensatory sensory strategies.

Towards more tactile information on sliders [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 31st Conference on l'Interaction Homme-Machine, 2019
Sliders are ubiquitous in everyday environment, whether on our mobile devices or in objects such as the control of a sound system. The tactile feedback they offer is still very limited, even though we often use them eyes-free. In order to inform the design of the sliders' tactile information in the future, we present a qualitative study showing how ...

An investigation into the use of tactons to present progress information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents an initial investigation into the use of Tactons, or tactile icons, to present progress information in desktop human-computer interfaces. Progress bars are very common in a wide range of interfaces but have problems. For example, they

Tactile crescendos and sforzandos: applying musical techniques to tactile icon design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Tactile icons (Tactons) are structured vibrotactile messages which can be used for non visual information display. Information is encoded in Tactons by manipulating vibrotactile parameters. This research investigates the possibilities of applying musical

Evaluation of laparoscopic forceps jaw contact pressure and distribution using pressure sensitive film

open access: yesComputer Assisted Surgery, 2019
In this study, the authors used the Fujifilm Prescale Pressure Measuring System to measure the contact pressure and distribution at the jaws of laparoscopic grasping forceps. This data was then correlated with measured pressures at the forceps handles to

Development of Fully Flexible Tactile Pressure Sensor with Bilayer Interlaced Bumps for Robotic Grasping Applications

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Flexible tactile sensors have been utilized in intelligent robotics for human-machine interaction and healthcare monitoring. The relatively low flexibility, unbalanced sensitivity and sensing range of the tactile sensors are hindering the accurate ...

The role of visual processing on tactile suppression. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
It has been suggested that tactile signals are suppressed on a moving limb to free capacities for processing other relevant sensory signals. In line with this notion, we recently showed that tactile suppression is indeed stronger in the presence of reach-
