Transparent haptic rendering of the contact between a tool and its environment requires very frequent update of the contact forces acting on the tool. Given a rigid tool and a def...
This paper presents a method for building analytical contact models for soft fingers. Friction constraints are derived based on general expressions for non-planar contacts of ela...

We present a novel experimental apparatus for the capture and replay of physical controls (mechanical knobs), as well as a set of acquired models and a design discussion related t...
We are developing a novel sensing device named “3-dimensional capture sheet (3DCS)”. The cloth-like sheet measures its own 3D configuration. The sheet enables us to make a sof...
We report mechanical impedance of the hand for sinusoidal stimulation at the threshold and suprathreshold levels in the frequency range of 10-500 Hz delivered through a ball-shape...
