Human Psychophysics for Teletaction System Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we quantify several perceptual capabilities of the human tactile system needed for teletaction. We develop a model of a teletaction system based on predicted subsurface strain. Psychophysics experiments measure the amplitude resolution of the human tactile system, the effects of shear stress on grating orientation discrimination, and the effects of viscoelasticity (creep and relaxation) on tactile perception for static touch. The results are used to determine teletaction system design parameters. We find that 10% amplitude resolution is sufficient for a teletaction system with a 2 mm elastic layer and 2 mm tactor spacing.

Human Tactile Spatial Sensitivity for Tactile Feedback
In this paper, we quantify several spatial capabilities of the hmnan tactile system needed for tactile feedback, or teletaction. Psychophysics experiments measure the amplitude resolution of the human tactile system, the effects of shear stress on grating orientation discrimination, and the effects of viscoelasticity {creep and relaxation) on tactile perception for static touch. The results are...
متن کاملA Compliant Tactile Display for Teletaction
A teletaction system uses a tactile display to present the user with information about texture, local shape, and/or local compliance. Current tactile displays are at and rigid, and require precise machining and assembly of many parts. This paper describes the fabrication and performance of a one-piece pneumaticallyactuated tactile display molded from silicone rubber. Tactor spacing is 2.5 mm wi...
متن کاملSome Basic Issues in Teletaction ∗ R . S . Fearing , G . Moy and E . Tan
Teletaction is the transmission of cutaneous information from a remote tactile sensor to an operator’s skin, typically the finger tips. Ideally, one would like a realistic sensation of directly touching an object with one’s own finger and sense properties such as local shape, hardness, or texture. Teletaction or tactile feedback is one component of haptic feedback, the other component being for...
متن کاملA Glance at Psychophysics Software Programs
Visual stimulation with precise control of stimulus has transformed the field of psychophysics since the introduction of personal computers. Luminance and chromatic features of stimulus, timing, and position of the stimulus are the main features that could be defined using programs written specifically for psychophysical experiments. In this manuscript, software used for the psychophysical expe...
متن کاملAbstract: In catheter minimally invasive neuro surgery (CMINS), catheter tip collision with the blood vessel detection
In catheter minimally invasive neuro surgery (CMINS), catheter tip collision with the blood vessel detection during the surgery practice is important. Moreover, successful CMINS is depended on the discrimination of collision by skilled surgeon in direct operation. However, in the context of teleoperated scenario, the surgeon was physically separated. Therefore, lacking of haptic sensation is a ...
