Tactile Perception of Rotational Sliding

We present a new tactile display for rendering rotational friction at the fingertips. To inform the design and control of this device, we have conducted an initial set of perceptual experiments to investigate perceptual thresholds for rates of rotational slipping at the fingertips. It was found that humans can discriminate a change in rotational sliding rate
