This research is focused on the development of a thermal display and understanding the nature of the thermal cues used to identify objects haptically. The objective of the present...
We present an active approach for discriminating different materials by impulsively contacting (hitting) them, and sensing and interpreting the resulting sounds. In theory, the an...
Materials such as wood or metal which are at equal temperatures are perceived to be of different ‘coldness’ due to differences in thermal properties, such as the thermal diffu...
In this paper, a numerical model of the thermal process of touching an object is described. The model takes into account the object geometry and temperature, the thermal parameter...
