This paper proposes a teleimpedance controller with tactile feedback for more intuitive
control of the Pisa/IIT SoftHand. With the aim to realize a robust, efficient and low-cost hand …

People with lower-limb amputation have reduced mobility due to loss of sensory information,
which may be restored by artificial sensory feedback systems built into prostheses. For an …

The goal of the structural health monitoring community has been to endow physical systems
with a nervous system not unlike those commonly found in living organisms. Typically, the …

The dependency of the perceived intensity of a short stimulus on its duration is well
established in vision and audition. No such phenomenon in terms of the amplitude has been …

This paper presents improvements made on our previous haptic music player designed to
enhance music listening experience with mobile devices. Our previous haptic music player …

Residual stresses and refractive index of molded glass lenses are important quality
indicators of their optical performance. In this research, the control of residual stresses and …

A novel vibrotactile musical input device called the Vibrochord, which is designed to deliver
patterns of vibration to the skin, not to the ear, through the use of a vibrotactile display called …

Previous vibrotactile research has provided little or no definitive results on the discrimination
and identification of important pitch aspects for musical performance such as relative and …

Skin mechanoreceptors are essential for the vibro-tactile sensory perception. The vibro-
tactile perception depends mainly on both fast adapting receptors (Pacini and Meissner's …

A mobile phone, also known as cell phone or hand phone, is among the most popular
electrical devices used by people all over the world. The present study examines the …
