Psychophysical Size Discrimination using Multi- fingered Haptic Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of multi-fingered haptic devices can potentially provide users much more realistic interactions in virtual environments compared to single-point contact devices. The usability of multi-fingered devices necessitates the need for an understanding of their performance characteristics. Multiple Phantoms devices were used in psychophysical size discrimination experiments using two and three fingered grasps. The results of these perceptual experiments were found to be comparable to those of singlefinger size discrimination studies as well as results obtained via finger-span methods. The findings imply that multi-fingered haptics can accurately replicate reality for tasks such as these. Additionally our findings indicate that a three-fingered haptic grasp can provide better discrimination than a two fingered grasp.

Multi-Fingered Haptic Palpation utilizing Granular Jamming Stiffness Feedback Actuators
This paper describes a multi-fingered haptic palpation method using stiffness feedback actuators for simulating tissue palpation procedures in traditional and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Soft tissue stiffness is simulated by changing the stiffness property of the actuator during palpation. For the first time, granular jamming and pneumatic air actuation are combined together to r...

A novel multi-fingered exoskeleton haptic device using passive force feedback has been proposed by the authors. The haptic device solves the conventional problems of previously developed master-slave systems with force feedback, such as oscillations, complex structures and complicated control algorithm. However, some problems still remain in the conventional passive elements. In the present pap...
