Touch receptors in the skin can relay various forms of abstract information, such as words
(Braille), haptic feedback (cell phones, game controllers, feedback for prosthetic control) …

In this study, a novel linear impact-resonant actuator was proposed for mobile device
applications. The most significant issue in mobile haptic actuators is the ability to provide …

In this work, a novel design for small vibrotactors called the Dual Excenter is presented,
which makes it possible to produce vibrations with independently adjustable frequency and …

Tactile exploration of a material's texture using a bare finger pad is a daily human activity.
However, modern tactile displays do not allow users to experience the natural sensations of …

We recently showed that C low-threshold mechanoreceptors (CLTMRs) contribute to touch-
evoked pain (allodynia) during experimental muscle pain. Conversely, in absence of …

In the background of spatial orientation in a navigation task, this study investigated the effect
of frequency, duration and amplitude of vibrotactile feedback when it provided primary …

In order to minimize a driver's distraction while interacting with automotive systems, tactile
feedback for virtual switches can be employed. Although several guidelines exist for …

The natural interaction of humans with their environment involves the harmonious
coordination of the body, for which multi-modal feedback including vision, proprioception …

For the last two decades, developments in damage detection algorithms have greatly
increased the potential for autonomous decisions about structural health. However, we are …

Subdermal magnetic implants originated as an art form in the world of body modification. To
date an in depth scientific analysis of the benefits of this implant has yet to be established …
