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...
Haptic interface serves as an ideal context and platform for teaching both system dynamics and embedded control. At The University of Michigan, a traditional undergraduate mechani...

We investigated people’s ability to report the shape and scale of a spatial layout after sparse contact, without vision. We propose that the initial representation of sparsely c...
It seems likely that humans build internal models of objects that they explore haptically, and that the complexity of an internal model is not necessarily associated with complex ...
In this paper, we address the problem of providing near-field haptic feedback in a wearable, scalable manner. Our solution, called the TactaBoard, supports the independent control...
