چکیده

In this paper we present an experiment whose goal is to investigate subjects’ ability to match pairs of synthetic auditory and haptic stimuli which simulate the sensation of walking on different surfaces. In three non-interactive conditions the audio–haptic stimuli were passively presented through a desktop system, while in three interactive conditions participants produced the audio–haptic feedback interactively while walking. Results show that material typology (i.e., solid or aggregate) is processed very consistently in both the auditory and haptic modalities. Subjects expressed a higher level of semantic congruence for those audio–haptic pairs of materials which belonged to the same typology. Furthermore, better matching ability was found for the passive case compared to the interactive one, although this may be due to the limits of the technology used for the interactive haptic simulations. ! 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

A Robust Controller with Online Authority Transformation for Dual User Haptic Training System

In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...

Soft Tissue Modeling Using ANFIS for Training Diagnosis of Breast Cancer in Haptic Simulator

Soft tissue modeling for the creation of a haptic simulator for training medical skills has been the focus of many attempts up to now. In soft tissue modeling the most important parameter considered is its being real-time, as well as its accuracy and sensitivity. In this paper, ANFIS approach is used to present a nonlinear model for soft tissue. The required data for training the neuro-fuzzy mo...

Trace of Water’s Footsteps on the History of Kashan

Traces of waters footsteps can rarely be found in history of Kashan. Traces which Sohrab Sepehri, a contemporary figure of Kashan, showed us and its meaning runs deep in our mythology. In this article, we believe that tracing water’s footsteps gives us a better source and description on the social history of this city. Based on the recent documents about Kashan, this essay finds an important cl...

On the decidability and complexity of the structural congruence for beta-binders

Beta-binders is a recent process calculus developed for modelling and simulating biological systems. As usual for process calculi, the semantic definition heavily relies on a structural congruence. The treatment of the structural congruence is essential for implementation. We present a subset of the calculus for which the structural congruence is decidable and a subset for which it is also effi...
