However, generating perceptually sufficient displacement in the low-frequency domain is challenging. This study presents a lever mechanism mounted on a diaphragm vibrator to enhance the vibrotactile intensity of low-frequency vibrotactile stimuli. The lever mechanism is inspired by the tactile contact lens consisting of an array of cylinders held against the skin on a sheet that enhances micro-bump tactile detection. We built an experimental apparatus including our previously developed thin-film diaphragm-type vibrator, which reproduced the common characteristic of piezoelectric vibrators: near-threshold displacement (10 to 20 μm) at low frequency. Experiments demonstrated enhanced vibrotactile intensity at frequencies less than 100 Hz with the lever mechanism. Although the arrangement and material of the mechanism can be improved, our findings can help improve the expressiveness of diaphragm-type vibrators.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 1","pages":"20-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10400851","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139472320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly the case for the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) procedure in dentistry, which is one of the most difficult motor skills to acquire. As existing works are still oversimplified or overcomplicated for practical deployment, we introduce an origami-based haptic syringe interface for IANB local anesthesia training. By harnessing the versatile mechanical tunability of the Kresling origami pattern, our interface simulated the tactile experience of the plunger while injecting the anesthetic solution. We present the design, development, and characterization process, as well as a preliminary usability study. The force profile generated by the syringe interface is perceptually similar with that of the Carpule syringe. The usability study suggests that the haptic syringe significantly improves the IANB training simulation and its potential to be utilized in several other medical training/simulation applications.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 1","pages":"39-44"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139472327","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}

Previous studies have explored the effect of normal force on speed perception under conditions where multiple motion cues on the skin (spatiotemporal cue, tangential skin deformation cue, and slip-induced vibration cue) were integrated. However, the effect of the normal force on speed perception in terms of each motion cue remains unclear since the multiple motion cues have not been adequately separated in the previously reported experiments. In this study, we aim to elucidate the effect of normal force in situations where the speed perception of tactile motion is based solely on a spatiotemporal cue. We developed a pin-array display which allowed us to vary the intensity of the normal force without causing tangential forces or slip-induced vibrations. Using the display, we conducted two psychophysical experiments. In Experiment 1, we found that the speed of the object was perceived to be 1.12-1.14 times faster when the intensity of the normal force was doubled. In Experiment 2, we did not observe significant differences in the discriminability of tactile speed caused by differences in normal force intensity. Our experimental results are of scientific significance and offer insights for engineering applications when using haptic displays that can only provide spatiotemporal cues represented by normal forces.</p>","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"PP ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139416887","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}

An important aspect of vibrotactile perception is spatial acuity, which determines the resolutions of vibrotactile displays on the skin. However, the complex vibration characteristics of vibrotactile actuators make it challenging for researchers to reference and compare previous study results. This is because the effects of typical characteristics, such as intensity and frequency, are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of intensity and frequency on vibrotactile spatial acuity. Using Linear Resonant Actuators (LRAs), we conducted relative point localization experiments to measure spatial acuity under different conditions. In the first experiment, we found that intensity had a significant effect on spatial acuity, with higher intensity leading to better acuity. In the second experiment, using a carefully designed intensity calibration procedure, we did not find a significant effect of frequency on spatial acuity. These findings provide a better understanding of vibrotactile spatial acuity, allow for comparisons to previous research, and provide insights into the design of future tactile devices.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 3","pages":"405-416"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139402627","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}

Recent motor learning studies have demonstrated that exaggeration of errors helps trainees learn to perform tasks with greater speed and accuracy. We hypothesized that training in a force field that pushes the user away from a desired path would improve their performance on a virtual reality ring-on-wire task. Thirty-eight surgical novices trained under a no-force, guidance, or error-amplifying force field over five days. Completion time, translational and rotational path error, and combined error-time were evaluated under no force field on the final day. The groups significantly differed in combined error-time, with the guidance group performing the worst. Error-amplifying field participants did not plateau in their performance during training, suggesting that learning was still ongoing. Guidance field participants had the worst performance on the final day, confirming the guidance hypothesis. Observed trends also suggested that participants who had high initial path error benefited more from guidance. Error-amplifying and error-reducing haptic training for robot-assisted telesurgery benefits trainees of different abilities differently, with our results indicating that participants with high initial combined error-time benefited more from guidance and error-amplifying force field training.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 3","pages":"417-428"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139402626","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}

However, designers and engineers are required to trade off a number of technical challenges when designing vibrotactile actuators, including expressiveness (a wide band of actuation frequency), flexibility, and the complexity of the manufacturing process. To address these challenges, we present the design and characterization of an origami-inspired flexible vibrotactile actuator, named OriVib, with a tunable resonance frequency (expressiveness), an origami-inspired design (flexible, soft contact with the human body), and a streamlined manufacturing process (low-cost). Based on its characterization, the fabricated OriVib actuator with 54 mm diameter can produce up to 1.2 g vibration intensity where the vibration intensity increases linearly from 6-11 V input. The resonance frequency is tunable through the characteristic diameter (the resonance frequency decreases in an almost inversely proportional fashion as the diameter increases). As for the thermal signature, the OriVib actuator maintains its temperature below 38 \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$^{o}C$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 when actuated within 6-8 V. In terms of repeatability, the OriVib maintained an average vibration intensity of 0.849 g (standard deviation 0.035 g) for at least 2 million cycles. These results validate the effectiveness of the OriVib actuator to offer an expressive, low-cost, and flexible vibrotactile actuator.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 3","pages":"496-502"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139073906","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}

In this work, we investigate the influence of the location of haptic feedback devices on embodiment of virtual hands and user load during an interactive pick-and-place task. To do this, we conducted a user study with a 3x2 repeated measure experiment design: feedback position is varied between the distal phalanx of the index finger and the thumb, the proximal phalanx of the index finger and the thumb, and the wrist. These conditions of feedback are tested with the stimuli applied synchronously to the participant in one case, and with an additional delay of 350 ms in the second case. The results show that the location of the haptic feedback device does not affect embodiment, whereas the delay, i.e., whether the feedback is applied synchronously or asynchronously, affects embodiment. This suggests that for pick-and-place tasks, haptic feedback devices can be placed on the user's wrist without compromising performance making the hands to remain free, allowing unobstructed hand visibility for precise motion tracking, thereby improving accuracy.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 2","pages":"292-301"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139073905","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}
