Tactile Communication and Display Systems

• IEEE ICRA 2006: Wearable Tactile Display Based on Soft Actuator: Igmo Koo+, Kwangmok Jung+, Jachoon Koo+, Jea–do Nam?, Youngkwan Lee?, Hyouk Ryeol Choi+
  • EAP array of actuators for imparting small amounts of skin strain. Thin and suitable for wrapping on curved surfaces.
• IEEE ICRA 2006: Reflective Grasp Force Control of Humans Induced by Distributed Vibration Stimuli on Finger Skin with ICPF Actuators (Ionic Conducting Polymer gel Film), Takashi Maeno (Keio).
• IEEE ICRA 2006: Quantitative Tactile Display Device with Pin-Type Tactile Feedback and Thermal Feedback -- piezo pin array + thermal elements.
• IEEE ICRA 206: A Compact Tactile Display for the Blind with Shape Memory Alloys
