Stiffness Feedback for Myoelectric Forearm Prostheses Using Vibrotactile Stimulation

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2014
The ability to distinguish object stiffness is a very important aspect in object handling, but completely lacking in current myoelectric prostheses. In human hands both tactile and proprioceptive sensory information are required for stiffness determination.

Crossmodal spatial location: initial experiments [PDF]

, 2006
This paper describes an alternative form of interaction for mobile devices using crossmodal output. The aim of our work is to investigate the equivalence of audio and tactile displays so that the same messages can be presented in one form or another ...

Comparison between audio and tactile systems for delivering simple navigational information to visually impaired pedestrians [PDF]

, 2007
Many of the current GPS (Global Positioning Systems) navigation aids use an audio method to deliver navigation information to the user. For the visually impaired person this method can be problematic.

VibroTac: An ergonomic and versatile usable vibrotactile feedback device [PDF]

19th International Symposium in Robot and Human Interactive Communication, 2010
This paper presents an ergonomic vibrotactile feedback device for the human arm. Due to the developed concept, the device can be used for a large spectrum of applications and a wide range of arm diameters since vibration segments are self-aligning to their intended positions.

Understanding the Utility of State-Based Haptic Feedback in Tendon-Driven Anthropomorphic Prostheses

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Haptic feedback has demonstrated utility in traditional prosthetic devices, however, it is unclear to what extent haptic feedback improves functionality in an anthropomorphic agonist/antagonist tendon-actuated design.

Augmenting Sensorimotor Control Using “Goal-Aware” Vibrotactile Stimulation during Reaching and Manipulation Behaviors [PDF]

, 2016
We describe two sets of experiments that examine the ability of vibrotactile encoding of simple position error and combined object states (calculated from an optimal controller) to enhance performance of reaching and manipulation tasks in healthy human ...

Effect of Haptic Feedback on the Perceived Size of a Virtual Object

IEEE Access, 2019
We investigate how different types of haptic feedback to hand affect the perceived size of a virtual object. Multiple haptic interfaces are designed to deliver different types of haptic feedback to hand. In the preliminary experiment, we investigated the
