Abstract
We have been developing a miniature multi-function haptic device - a tactor - that generates the sense of pressure, vibration, shear force, and temperature for upper extremity amputees, especially those who have undergone targeted nerve reinnervation surgery. This paper discusses first the design of the thermal display portion of the tactor, second a pilot study of a thermal display using the tactor.
