Previous surface shape presenting methods had difficulties in generating high-density tactile information owing to blurriness in tactile images caused by lateral skin deformations. In this study, a new surface shape presenting method is proposed, and it employs overlapping small-amplitude vibrations instead of a single vibration. This method represents the mechanism of stationary boundary contacts...
Tactile sensations experienced by humans, such as roughness and softness, require not only high-frequency (200 Hz) but also lower-frequency vibrations (< 50 Hz). However, such low frequencies are difficult to achieve with small actuators that can be integrated into mobile devices. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods for enhancing human vibrotactile sensitivity. We focused on a phenomenon...
Perception of minute force through tactile feedback from a tool is an important aspect for humans to maintain dexterity during manipulation of embedded objects invisible to the naked eye, such as repairing tissues in minimally invasive surgery. Different pressure levels at finger contacts could be responsible factors concerning the perception of forces on a tool. In this paper, an experimental study...
