“…The outputs from the perceptual behaviors should consist of various kinds of vibrotactile signals conveying information via human tactile perception. Previous work evaluating a variety of tactile feedback systems has shown substantial potential (Geldard, 1975;Gemperle et al, 2001;Tan & Pentland, 1997;Tan et al, 2000;Traylor & Tan, 2002;Zelek et al, 2003). For example, Tan et al (2000) have derived several benefits by studying cutaneous sensory saltation in order to develop a haptic interface.…”

“…Looking at the state-of-the-art, it is possible to observe a number of strategies for stimulus delivery through wearable systems, specifically developed to generate vibrations [4], apply forces [11], stimulate skin using pin-arrays [12] or using electrocutaneous feedback [13], and considering different body locations for stimulus application, such as arm [7,14], foot [15], finger [5,16], among the others; the interested reader may refer to references [16,17] (for a review of these topics see Figure 1).

“…This new generation of wearable haptic systems (WHS) [3] can convey tactile cues in a more natural fashion, while being easily worn by users, carried around, and integrated in everyday life. This shift in system design has opened up exciting avenues in many application fields, such as virtual reality and assistive robotics [4][5][6]. One of the most convincing motivations for this change relies on the possibility to integrate WHS with the human body with minimal constraints [7], thus enabling a more natural investigation of human behavior and human-robot interaction (HRI).…”

Abstract:In recent years, wearable haptic systems (WHS) have gained increasing attention as a novel and exciting paradigm for human-robot interaction (HRI). These systems can be worn by users, carried around, and integrated in their everyday lives, thus enabling a more natural manner to deliver tactile cues. At the same time, the design of these types of devices presents new issues: the challenge is the correct identification of design guidelines, with the two-fold goal of minimizing system encumbrance and increasing the effectiveness and naturalness of stimulus delivery. Fabrics can represent a viable solution to tackle these issues. They are specifically thought "to be worn", and could be the key ingredient to develop wearable haptic interfaces conceived for a more natural HRI. In this paper, the author will review some examples of fabric-based WHS that can be applied to different body locations, and elicit different haptic perceptions for different application fields. Perspective and future developments of this approach will be discussed.

“…Pilots need a high concentration of the auditory and visual channel in accessing information from the vicinity for safe ambulation (e.g., approaching objects and acoustic and visual signals from instruments and alerts), and the two channels will not be available for other cues. Additionally, the pilot cannot keep the situation of aircraft to a suitable standard via the two traditional senses when flying aircraft above the sea [2], through rain and cloud [3], or in a condition of altered gravitoinertial acceleration [6][7][8].…”

Vibrotactile (vibratory tactile) displays have been reported as effective in enhancing awareness of flight attitude for pilots and releasing other heavily loaded sensory channels. Although some work has been done on vibrotactile coding of flight attitude, there is lack of a systematic investigation into coding methods with combination of multiple coding parameters. In this paper, seven coding methods with seven combinations of multiple coding parameters (location, rhythm, intensity, and mode) were systematically studied to cue flight attitude for pilots with vibrotactile vest. We conducted two psychophysical experiments in a static environment in which the attitude information in the form of vibrotactile feedback are presented randomly, and quantitatively evaluated the effectiveness of the vest according to the users' recognition accuracy, reaction time and information transfer rate. The results show that vibrotactile vest is effective to cue attitude information. The preferred coding method with combinations of location, rhythm and mode allowed users to perform with lowest reaction time and highest recognition accuracy and yield about 255 bits/min of information transfer rate. Overall, the presented work provides valuable insights and guidance for the design of vibrotactile aids for the pilots.
