When designing a vibrotactile information display, it is important to present correct, stable stimulation. However, the mechanical stability of the vibration is affected by many c...
This paper considers the application of a low-force robotic manipulator to guide a human user’s movement to locate a tool at a predetermined position or to move a tool along a p...
In this paper, we propose a new tactile sensor skin system. The system consists of two components. One is a sensor element which detects a contact area in addition to a contact fo...
Virtual Reality (VR) has gained more popularity in the recent years due to the advancements in hardware technology, an advancement that eliminated much of the limitations that VR ...
Interactive virtual reality requires at least 60 frames per second in order to ensure smooth motion. For a good immersive experience, it is also necessary to have low end-to-end l...
