Development of Embedded Sensor System for 5-DOF Finger-Wearable Tactile Interface

A Wearable Haptic Device for the Hand With Interchangeable End-Effectors

“…R ECENT advancements in mechatronics, robotics, and smart materials have fostered the development of wearable haptic interfaces, which are considered promising tools for enhancing a broad range of human-machine and humanhuman interactions as well as recreate artificial touch sensations in Virtual and Mixed Reality (VR/MR) scenarios [1]. Wearable haptic devices have been developed for rendering diverse sensations across the body, providing kinesthetic [2]- [5], pressure [4], [6]- [12], skin stretch [9], [11], [13]- [16], softness [16]- [18], and/or vibratory [4], [7], [19] haptic sensations to the fingers [6], [7], [13], [14], [17]- [19], palm [8]- [12], [16], hand [2]- [4], and arm [15], [20].…”

“…Haptics technology is no exception, with wearable haptics systems being successfully employed in various scenarios [1], including rehabilitation [2,3,4], Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15], and robotic teleoperation [16,5,17,18]. Wearable haptic devices have been proposed for different parts of the body, providing kinesthetic [2,3,16,19], pressure [5,6,7,16,10,11,12,13,14], skin stretch [8,9,17,10,13,15], and vibration [6,4,16] stimuli to the fingers [5,7,8,9,6,4], palm [10,11,…”

“…Figures 16,17,18,19, and 20 report the commanded and tracked mean movements for motions M1, M2, M3, M4, and M5, respectively. Each movement was repeated ten times.…”
