A soft and lightweight fabric-based pneumatic interface for multimodal fingertip tactile feedback
Rui Chen, Daniele Leonardis, Antonio Frisoli
Wearable fingertip haptic devices are critical for realistic interaction in virtual reality, augmented reality, and teleoperation, yet existing approaches struggle to simultaneousl…
A wearable haptic device for edge and surface simulation
Rui Chen, Xianlong Mai, Alireza Sanaei +3
Object manipulation is fundamental to virtual reality (VR) applications, yet conventional fingertip haptic devices fail to render certain tactile features relevant for immersive an…
Design and Characterization of a Dual-DOF Soft Shoulder Exosuit with Volume-Optimized Pneumatic Actuator
Rui Chen, Domenico Chiaradia, Daniele Leonardis +1
Portable pneumatic systems for 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) soft shoulder exosuits remain underexplored, and face fundamental trade-offs between torque output and dynamic response tha…
A Soft Fabric-Based Thermal Haptic Device for VR and Teleoperation
Rui Chen, Domenico Chiaradia, Antonio Frisoli +1
This paper presents a novel fabric-based thermal-haptic interface for virtual reality and teleoperation. It integrates pneumatic actuation and conductive fabric with an innovative…
