A first investigation into the effectiveness of Tactons [PDF]

, 2005
This paper reports two experiments relating to the design of Tactons (or tactile icons). The first experiment investigated perception of vibro-tactile "roughness" (created using amplitude modulated sinusoids), and the results indicated that roughness ...

Temporal coherency of mechanical stimuli modulates tactile form perception

Scientific Reports, 2021
The human hand can detect both form and texture information of a contact surface. The detection of skin displacement (sustained stimulus) and changes in skin displacement (transient stimulus) are thought to be mediated in different tactile channels ...

Embodied tactile perception and learning

Brain Science Advances, 2020
Various living creatures exhibit embodiment intelligence, which is reflected by a collaborative interaction of the brain, body, and environment. The actual behavior of embodiment intelligence is generated by a continuous and dynamic interaction between a

Congruent Kinesthetic and Tactile Haptic Rendering Accelerates the Learning of Highly Dynamic Virtual Sensorimotor Tasks

IEEE Access
Advances in haptic technologies enable rich, multi-channel haptic rendering of interactions with virtual objects during virtual reality training. However, it remains an open question whether multi-channel haptic rendering (kinesthetic and tactile ...

Visual–tactile object recognition of a soft gripper based on faster Region-based Convolutional Neural Network and machining learning algorithm

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2020
Object recognition is a prerequisite to control a soft gripper successfully grasping an unknown object. Visual and tactile recognitions are two commonly used methods in a grasping system.

Vibrotactile information improves proprioceptive reaching target localization. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
When pointing to parts of our own body (e.g., the opposite index finger), the position of the target is derived from proprioceptive signals. Consistent with the principles of multisensory integration, it has been found that participants better matched ...

Seeing by Touch: Evaluation of a Soft Biologically-Inspired Artificial Fingertip in Real-Time Active Touch [PDF]

, 2014
Effective tactile sensing for artificial platforms remains an open issue in robotics. This study investigates the performance of a soft biologically-inspired artificial fingertip in active exploration tasks. The fingertip sensor replicates the mechanisms

Population coding strategies in human tactile afferents.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022
Sensory information is conveyed by populations of neurons, and coding strategies cannot always be deduced when considering individual neurons. Moreover, information coding depends on the number of neurons available and on the composition of the ...
