Making Sense of Haptics

Fundamentals of Perception and Implications for Device Design

by Femke Elise van Beek ...

Series series Computer Science (R0)
Tele operation systems, in which robots are controlled remotely, are a potential solution to performing tasks in remote, small, and hazardous environments. However, there is a big disadvantage to these systems; as the direct connection between the human and the environment is lost and operators are deprived of their sense of touch. The recreation of touch feedback through haptic devices is a ... Read more
