Dronevision: An Experimental 3D Testbed for Flying Light Specks
Hamed Alimohammadzadeh, Rohit Bernard, Yang Chen +5
Today's robotic laboratories for drones are housed in a large room. At times, they are the size of a warehouse. These spaces are typically equipped with permanent devices to locali…
An Evaluation of Three Distance Measurement Technologies for Flying Light Specks
Trung Phan, Hamed Alimohammadzadeh, Heather Culbertson +1
This study evaluates the accuracy of three different types of time-of-flight sensors to measure distance. We envision the possible use of these sensors to localize swarms of flying…
Active Acoustic Sensing for Robot Manipulation
Shihan Lu, Heather Culbertson
Perception in robot manipulation has been actively explored with the goal of advancing and integrating vision and touch for global and local feature extraction. However, it is diff…
Development and Evaluation of a Learning-based Model for Real-time Haptic Texture Rendering
Negin Heravi, Heather Culbertson, Allison M. Okamura +1
Current Virtual Reality (VR) environments lack the rich haptic signals that humans experience during real-life interactions, such as the sensation of texture during lateral movemen…
Masking Effects in Combined Hardness and Stiffness Rendering Using an Encountered-Type Haptic Display
Naghmeh Zamani, Heather Culbertson
Rendering stable hard surfaces is an important problem in haptics for many tasks, including training simulators for orthopedic surgery or dentistry. Current impedance devices canno…
Data-driven sparse skin stimulation can convey social touch information to humans
M. Salvato, Sophia R. Williams, Cara M. Nunez +7
During social interactions, people use auditory, visual, and haptic cues to convey their thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Due to weight, energy, and other hardware constraints,…
Investigating Social Haptic Illusions for Tactile Stroking (SHIFTS)
Cara M. Nunez, Bryce N. Huerta, Allison M. Okamura +1
A common and effective form of social touch is stroking on the forearm. We seek to replicate this stroking sensation using haptic illusions. This work compares two methods that pro…
Understanding Continuous and Pleasant Linear Sensations on the Forearm from a Sequential Discrete Lateral Skin-Slip Haptic Device
Cara M. Nunez, Sophia R. Williams, Allison M. Okamura +1
A continuous stroking sensation on the skin can convey messages or emotion cues. We seek to induce this sensation using a combination of illusory motion and lateral stroking via a…
