A Modular 3-Degree-of-Freedom Force Sensor for Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery Research
Zonghe Chua, Allison M. Okamura
Effective force modulation during tissue manipulation is important for ensuring safe robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). Strict requirements for in-vivo distal force…
Deep Learning Classification of Touch Gestures Using Distributed Normal and Shear Force
Hojung Choi, Dane Brouwer, Michael A. Lin +5
When humans socially interact with another agent (e.g., human, pet, or robot) through touch, they do so by applying varying amounts of force with different directions, locations, c…
Hoxels: Fully 3-D Printed Soft Multi-Modal & Multi-Contact Haptic Voxel Displays for Enriched Tactile Information Transfer
Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Yimeng Qin, Allison Okamura
Wrist-worn haptic interfaces can deliver a wide range of tactile cues for communication of information and interaction with virtual objects. Unlike fingertips, the wrist and forear…
Perception of Mechanical Properties via Wrist Haptics: Effects of Feedback Congruence
Mine Sarac, Massimiliano di Luca, Allison M. Okamura
Despite non-co-location, haptic stimulation at the wrist can potentially provide feedback regarding interactions at the fingertips without encumbering the user's hand. Here we inve…
FingerPrint: A 3-D Printed Soft Monolithic 4-Degree-of-Freedom Fingertip Haptic Device with Embedded Actuation
Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Allison M. Okamura
Wearable fingertip haptic interfaces provide tactile stimuli on the fingerpads by applying skin pressure, linear and rotational shear, and vibration. Designing and fabricating a co…
Social-Cultural Factors in the Design of Technology for Hispanic People with Stroke
Elizabeth D. Vasquez, Allison M. Okamura, Sean Follmer
Stroke is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. There exist disparities in both stroke prevalence and outcomes between people with stroke in Hispan…
