On the way towards fully AVs, we will experience an increase in numbers of automated vehicles on our roads, requiring the human driver to take back control in situations, which cannot be handled by the vehicle. These human-robot take-over requests (TORs) can lead to safety risks, in particular in scenarios when the driver fails to understand the TOR and, hence, lacks situational awareness (SA). In this paper, the correlation between reaction time, multimodal feedback, informing the human driver of a transition in automation level, and success of transfer of control has been investigated. Nineteen human drivers have participated in experiments in a full-sized driving simulator: First, the driver was engaged in a secondary reading task while the car was in self-driving mode. Then, a TOR indicated to the driver to take back control. Seven different feedback modalities for the TORs have been created consisting of an audio chime, a visual cue or a static mechano-tactile haptic feedback, or a combination of these. The mechano-tactile feedback is hereby given through soft pneumatic actuators embedded into a novel soft robotic driver's seat. After the driver experienced the TOR, they were given seven seconds to regain SA, retake the driving task and react to a road incident ahead. Based on the results, it can be concluded that reaction times below 2.6 seconds and above 6 seconds result in an unsuccessful transfer of control. Additionally, we have found that haptic feedback results in a timely and safe transfer of control within a shorter time frame, when added to currently commercially available auditory and visual feedback.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143763922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A broad spectrum of research is reviewed ranging from studies that have examined the mechanisms involved in thermal intensification and tactile masking, to more applied work that has focused on implementing thermal-tactile illusions such as thermal referral and illusory wetness in VR environments. Research on these tactile-thermal illusions has identified the differences between the senses of cold and warmth in terms of their effects on the perception of object properties and the prevalence of the perceptual experiences elicited. They have also underscored the fundamental spatial and temporal differences between the tactile and thermal senses. The wide-ranging body of research on compound sensations such as wetness and stickiness has highlighted the mechanisms involved in sensing moisture and provided a framework for measuring these sensations in a variety of contexts. Although the interactions between the two senses are complex, it is clear that the addition of thermal inputs to a tactile display enhances both user experience and enables novel sensory experiences.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143596871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This leads to overtaxing our visual and auditory channels, a lack of connection and engagement, and inaccessibility for diverse sensory groups. In this paper, we learn from haptic intuitions of the blind and low vision (BLV) and Protactile DeafBlind (PT-DB) communities to investigate how core functions of communication can be routed through tactile channels. We investigate this re-routing by designing the Conversational Haptic Technology (CHAT) system, a wearable haptic system to explore the feasibility of language recreation through core functions of communication and emotional expression via touch. We contribute the design evolution of an input (sensing) pad and an output (actuation) pad, which enable a bidirectional, wireless system to support remote, touch-based communication. These systems were iteratively evaluated through a series of user studies with sighted-hearing (N=20), BLV (N=4), and PT-DB (N=7) participants to uncover touch profiles for relaying specific communication functions and emotional responses. Results indicate trends and similarities in the touch-based cues organically employed across the diverse groups and provide an initial framework for demonstrating the feasibility of communicating core functions through touch in a wearable form factor.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143575649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alternative solutions using different actuators have been explored, but their low density hampers fine renderings, and so texture rendering. To overcome these limits, we propose in this paper the development, the characterization, and the evaluation of an innovative haptic solution enabling localized or continuous texture rendering on a flexible surface. On the basis of previous work, the developed surface is composed of several haptic resonators vibrating at an ultrasonic frequency, driven by piezoelectric actuators, and associated with a polymer matrix. The solution combines the advantages of a rigid haptic surface, implementing friction modulation to obtain texture stimulation, and the conformability of a 75 m thick polymer sheet. By powering or not the actuators, it is possible to display simple tactile shapes. Tribological measurements confirm that the friction reduction matches the desired shape. Two studies demonstrated the device's effectiveness: participants identified simple geometric shapes with a 96 success rate and 14 s detection time, and two users simultaneously recognized independent tactile patterns, achieving 89 accuracy. This flexible device supports simple geometric shape display with texture rendering, multi-touch and multi-user interaction, offering potential for various applications.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143575646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maintaining a human in the loop has proven to be a reliable strategy in these applications, yet there are currently limitations to the efficacy of human operators. Haptic feedback has been proposed as a method of addressing these limitations, and aiding UGV operators in safe and effective operation. This manuscript presents the experimental validation of LARIAT (Lowering Attention Requirements in semi-Autonomous Teleoperation), a portable haptic device for teleoperated semi-autonomous UGVs. This device utilizes an adapted predictive form of the Zero-Moment Point (ZMP) rollover index to inform haptic squeeze cues provided to the UGV operator for human-on-the-loop notifications. First, a brief design overview of LARIAT, implemented haptic control, and the ZMP index are presented. In addition to experimental device characterization of the just noticeable difference, we present a case study that demonstrates LARIAT's abilities to improve teleoperation performance. In an experiment involving a simulation of walking behind a semi-autonomous UGV, LARIAT reduced the number of UGV rollovers by up to 50%, with comparable or increased performance in a concurrent secondary tasks.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143541865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
