In this paper, we concentrate on the design of a new whole-sensitive robot arm enabling torque measurement in each joint by means of developed optical torque sensors. When the con...
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...
Tactile displays based on pin arrays are challenging to design because they require a large number of individually controllable pins, or "tactors". A semiactive approach...
