Abstract. This paper presents an experiment of two finger grasping. The task considered is the peg-in-hole and the simulated force feedback is cutaneous or kinesthetic. The kinesthetic feedback is provided by a commercial haptic device while the cutaneous one is provided by a new haptic display proposed in this work, which allows to render at the fingertip a wide range of contact forces. The device consists of a mobile surface, which interacts with the fingertip, actuated by three wires directly connected to the motors placed on the grounded structure of the display. This work summarizes the design of the proposed display and presents the main relationships which describe its kinematics and dynamics. Results showed that cutaneous feedback exhibits improved performances when compared to visual feedback only.

Abstract-This paper presents some preliminary results on RemoTouch, a system allowing to perform experiences of remote touch. The system consists of an avatar equipped with an instrumented glove and a user wearing tactile displays allowing to feel the remote tactile interaction. The main features of RemoTouch are that it is a wearable system and that a human avatar is used to collect remote tactile interaction data. New paradigms of tactile communication can be designed around the RemoTouch system. Two simple experiences are reported to show the potential of the proposed remote touch architecture.

“…W-FYD controls the stretching state of a fabric to reproduce different stiffness levels and, for the first time, it can convey softness information, tangential cues, and enable both passive and active haptic exploration in users. The mechanical structure is inspired by the grounded version of the device and is also similar to the one reported in reference [36]. More specifically, two DC motors can vary the stiffness of the fabric and, if independently controlled, provide tangential force ( Figure 3).…”

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.
