Improvement of Vibration Sensitivity by Tangential Vibration
Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics, 2009 A vibration sensitivity is usually defined by the minimum amplitude when a subject perceives the vibration with ω1which is the frequency of perpendicular direction on the skin surface. In this work, we are interested in how the vibration sensitivity at ω1is changed under the condition adding the tangential vibration with ω2which is the frequency of ...
