Tactile teaching: Exploring protein structure/function using physical models*.
The technology now exists to construct physical models of proteins based on atomic coordinates of solved structures. We review here our recent experiences in using physical models to teach concepts of protein structure and function at both the high school and the undergraduate levels. At the high school level, physical models are used in a professional development program targeted to biology an...
متن کاملExploring Tactile Perceptual Dimensions Using Materials Associated with Sensory Vocabulary
Considering tactile sensation when designing products is important because the decision to purchase often depends on how products feel. Numerous psychophysical studies have attempted to identify important factors that describe tactile perceptions. However, the numbers and types of major tactile dimensions reported in previous studies have varied because of differences in materials used across e...
متن کاملTeaching Reinforcement Learning using a Physical Robot
This paper presents a little crawling robot as a didactic instrument for teaching reinforcement learning. The robot learns a forwardwalking policy from scratch in less than 20 seconds of reinforced sensorimotor interactions. The state space consists of two discretized dimensions, where the behavior is visualizable and comprehensible. In laboratory tutorials, students conduct experiments with a ...
متن کاملEXPLORING THE TACTILE MODALITY FOR HMDs
Humans commonly are considered to have five separable named senses, called hearing, sight (vision), smell, taste, and touch, providing information about the external world. These senses, their organs, and respective modalities are listed in Table 18-1. The two most dominant senses are sight and hearing. Equipment designers understand human reliance on these two senses and have used them as the ...
متن کاملFeeling Small: Exploring the Tactile Perception Limits
The human finger is exquisitely sensitive in perceiving different materials, but the question remains as to what length scales are capable of being distinguished in active touch. We combine material science with psychophysics to manufacture and haptically explore a series of topographically patterned surfaces of controlled wavelength, but identical chemistry. Strain-induced surface wrinkling an...
