Studying the relationship between motor primitives of the finger and the corresponding tactile feedback provides valuable insight into the nature of touch and informs the simulation of humanoid tactile. This research decomposed finger contact into three fundamental motor primitives: contact-on, stick-to-slip, and full slip, then examined the tactile features associated with each motor primitive, including the center of mass (COM) and the centroid of the contact pressure distribution matrix and the total contact area. The change in fingertip contact area during contact-on was in accordance with a first-order kinetic model. In the stick-to-slip, there was a generalized linear relationship between the fingertip skin stretch and the magnitude of the tangential force. Moreover, the skin stretch of the fingertip mirrored the direction of the motion. During the full slip, the COM's movement effectively represented the direction of the tangential force, with an error margin of no more than five degrees. Experiments showed that certain fingertip motions can be portrayed, transmitted, and replicated using tactile information. This research opens potential avenues for remote immersive physical communication in robotics and other related fields.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"16 4","pages":"848-860"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92153751","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}

The subjective rating is currently the mainstream measurement to assess haptic rendering realism, which ignores various subjective and objective uncertainties in the evaluation process and also neglects the mutual influence among tactile renderings. In this paper, we extend the existing subjective evaluation and systematically propose a fuzzy evaluation method of haptic rendering realism. Hierarchical fuzzy scoring based on confidence interval is introduced to reduce the difficulty of expressing tactile feeling with deterministic rating. After the fuzzy statistics based on the membership function, we further use close-degree and transitive closure to calculate the fuzzy equivalence matrix between different tactile renderings. Fuzzy clustering is carried out to complete the comprehensive evaluation in the case of multiple indicators. Five tactile objects are used to simulate various situations of tactile rendering. The experimental results of haptic perceptual similarity evaluation show the existence of fuzziness in the subjective evaluation and verify the feasibility of the proposed method applied to multi-indicator evaluation. We also conclude that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods in terms of time cost and labor cost.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"16 4","pages":"826-835"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72209146","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}

Contrarily, passive robots use uncontrollable passive force elements (e.g., springs), while active robots use controllable active force elements (e.g., motors). Semi-passive robots can address cost and safety limitations of active robots, but it is unclear if they have utility in rehabilitation. Here, we assessed if a semi-passive robot could provide haptic guidance to facilitate motor learning. We first performed a theoretical analysis of the robot's ability to provide haptic guidance, and then used a prototype to perform a motor learning experiment that tested if the guidance helped participants learn to trace a shape. Unlike prior studies, we minimized the confounding effects of visual feedback during motor learning. Our theoretical analysis showed that our robot produced guidance forces that were, on average, 54\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$^circ$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 from the current velocity (active devices achieve 90\u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$^circ$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000). Our motor learning experiment showed, for the first time, that participants who received haptic guidance during training learned to trace the shape more accurately (97.57% error to 52.69%) than those who did not receive guidance (81.83% to 78.18%). These results support the utility of semi-passive robots in rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"17 3","pages":"346-359"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71521309","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}

Two prototypes, namely a spherical model and a cylindrical model, were employed as mappings between three-dimensional positions and vibration amplitudes. In Experiment 1, we evaluated the system's performance in indicating positions in depth, orientation, and height. Notably, discrimination rates for depth (Task 1) and orientation (Task 2) were 60% and 54%, respectively. Regarding height discrimination in the head-to-waist condition (Tasks 3 and 4), the cylindrical model outperformed the spherical model (54% and 52% vs. 32% and 36%). Conversely, in the head-above and waist-below condition (Task 5), the cylindrical model achieved a discrimination rate of 45%, while the spherical model did not. In Experiment 2, we explored the use of the cylindrical model to convey a moving three-dimensional position.

While considerable research has focused on restoring this haptic information, these approaches often rely on single-modality feedback schemes which are necessary but insufficient for the feedforward and feedback control strategies employed by the central nervous system. Multi-modality feedback approaches have been gaining attention in several application domains, however, the utility for myoelectric prosthesis use remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the utility of dual-modality haptic feedback in a virtual EMG-controlled grasp-and-hold task with a brittle object and variable load force. We recruited N = 20 participants without limb difference to perform the task in four conditions: no feedback, vibration feedback of incipient slip, squeezing feedback of grip force, and dual (vibration + squeezing) feedback of incipient slip and grip force. Results suggest that receiving any haptic feedback is better than receiving none, however, dual-modality feedback is far superior to either single-modality feedback approach in terms of preventing the object from breaking or dropping. Control with dual-modality feedback was also seen as more intuitive than with either of the single-modality feedback approaches.","PeriodicalId":13215,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Haptics","volume":"16 4","pages":"816-825"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71412052","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}

Our results show that low-frequency vibrations elicited through tangential actuation are efficiently transmitted from the wrist to the hand, with amplitude varying based on distance, frequency, and actuation direction. We also found that vibrations transmitted to different locations on the hand can be felt by a second person, with perceptual intensity correlated with oscillation magnitude at the touched location. Additionally, we demonstrate how wrist-interfaced devices can elicit spatial vibration patterns throughout the hand surface, which can be manipulated by the frequency and direction of actuation at the wrist.

Therefore, the development of thermal sensation presentation technologies holds significant potential, providing a novel method of interaction. Traditional technologies often leave residual heat in the system or the skin, affecting subsequent presentations. Our study focuses on presenting thermal sensations with low residual heat, especially cold sensations. To mitigate the impact of residual heat in the presentation system, we opted for a non-contact method, and to address the influence of residual heat on the skin, we present thermal sensations without significantly altering skin temperature. Specifically, we integrated two highly responsive and independent heat transfer mechanisms: convection via cold air and radiation via visible light, providing non-contact thermal stimuli. By rapidly alternating between perceptible decreases and imperceptible increases in temperature on the same skin area, we maintained near-constant skin temperature while presenting continuous cold sensations.
