Wave Focusing in Metamaterials: Tactile Displays Beyond the Diffraction Limit
Gregory Reardon, Max Linnander, Dustin Goetz +2
We address the challenge of engineering distributed haptic displays capable of reproducing multiple localized, independently addressable vibrations -- representing virtual tactile…
Thermopneumatic Pixels: Fast, Localized, Robust, Low-Voltage Touch Feedback
Max Linnander, Yon Visell
We present thermopneumatic pixels (TPPs) -- low-profile pixels and arrays that generate dynamic tactile feedback. These devices are thin, fast, reconfigurable, and output localized…
Haptic Light-Emitting Diodes: Miniature, Luminous Tactile Actuators
Max Linnander, Yon Visell
We present Haptic Light-Emitting Diodes (HLEDs), luminous thermopneumatic actuators that directly convert pulsed light into mechanical forces and displacements. Each device package…
Tactile Displays Driven by Projected Light
Max Linnander, Dustin Goetz, Gregory Reardon +3
Tactile displays that lend tangible form to digital content could transform computing interactions. However, achieving the resolution, speed, and dynamic range needed for perceptua…
Tactile Perception in Upper Limb Prostheses: Mechanical Characterization, Human Experiments, and Computational Findings
Alessia Silvia Ivani, Manuel G. Catalano, Giorgio Grioli +3
Our research investigates vibrotactile perception in four prosthetic hands with distinct kinematics and mechanical characteristics. We found that rigid and simple socket-based pros…
A peristaltic soft, wearable robot for compression and massage therapy
Mengjia Zhu, Adrian Ferstera, Stejara Dinulescu +4
Soft robotics is attractive for wearable applications that require conformal interactions with the human body. Soft wearable robotic garments hold promise for supplying dynamic com…
A Multimodal, Enveloping Soft Gripper: Shape Conformation, Bioinspired Adhesion, and Expansion-Driven Suction
Yufei Hao, Shantonu Biswas, Elliot Hawkes +4
A key challenge in robotics is to create efficient methods for grasping objects with diverse shapes, sizes, poses, and properties. Grasping with hand-like end effectors often requi…
A Wearable Tactile Sensor Array for Large Area Remote Vibration Sensing in the Hand
Yitian Shao, Hui Hu, Yon Visell
Tactile sensing is a essential for skilled manipulation and object perception, but existing devices are unable to capture mechanical signals in the full gamut of regimes that are i…
Fluidic Fabric Muscle Sheets for Wearable and Soft Robotics
Mengjia Zhu, Thanh Nho Do, Elliot Hawkes +1
Conformable robotic systems are attractive for applications in which they can be used to actuate structures with large surface areas, to provide forces through wearable garments, o…
Fracture in Disordered Heterogeneous Materials as a Stochastic Process
Yon Visell, Guillaume Millet
Fracture processes in heterogeneous materials comprise a large number of disordered spatial degrees of freedom, representing the dynamical state of a sample over the entire domain…
