This paper outlines major challenges that we are facing in interfacing a human user with objects in the nanoworld via a haptic interface. After a review of prior efforts at haptic...

We have produced a 100-contactor array on the fingertip to provide passive stimulation, and a 25contactor array on the fingertip which allows active exploration in 2D. This paper ...

In this paper we describe our efforts to develop a new strategy for providing assistance using haptics in a virtual environment when training for a motor skill. Using a record and...
— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...
In this paper we propose a new set of primitives to realize a large-area covering realistic tactile display. They stimulate the skin surface with suction pressure (SPS method) as ...
An analytical model for cutting of a plate of material with a pair of scissors is presented in terms of concepts of contact and fracture mechanics. The forces of contact between t...
It is necessary to ascertain texture perception of humans in developing tactile devices that create or detect lifelike texture. In this paper, the relationship between object surf...
In this paper, we present a multi-modal data perceptualization system used to analyze the benefits of augmenting a volume docking problem with other perceptual cues, particularly...
