Last summer, Northwestern University researchers introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it’s no longer needed. Now, they unveil a new, Read more about Wireless devices also use haptic feedback to talk to patient[…]
Lips are famously sensual but, together with the gums and tongue, they are also surprisingly sensitive, second only to the fingertips in nerve density. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have Read more about Ultrasound system targets mouth to create virtual reality haptic effects[…]
Technology has allowed us to immerse ourselves in a world of sights and sounds from the comfort of our home, but there’s something missing: touch. Tactile sensation is an incredibly Read more about Haptics device creates realistic virtual textures[…]
In the future, human skills will be digitalised and democratised via the Internet of Skills: a future internet that will enable you to use robot technology and haptic feedback to Read more about Internet of Skills enabling real-time transmission of haptic sensation[…]
In a paper published on February 23, 2022 in Nature Machine Intelligence, a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) introduce a robust soft haptic sensor named “Insight” Read more about Haptic fingertip sensitivity for robots[…]
Typing on a keyboard, pressing buttons on a remote control or braiding a child’s hair has remained elusive for prosthetic hand users. With current myoelectric prosthetic hands, users can only Read more about Haptic feedback for custom fabricated multichannel bimodal soft robotic armband[…]
How can humans instantly estimate the slipperiness of a surface and adjust their gripping, for instance when picking up a wet glass? Researchers from Delft University of Technology have, together Read more about Haptic human-machine interaction improve robots with a human sense of touch[…]
We are constantly surrounded by sounds and vibrations in our environment, such as a ringing phone or a buzzing smart device like a wearable activity tracker. While such notifications from Read more about Information conveyed through haptic feedback has advantages as it can alert users privately[…]
Have you ever wondered whether the brains of right-handed people work differently from those of left-handers? Is it possible to distinguish between them by observing their brain activity in response Read more about Touch-and-know with haptic feedback[…]
Imagine you’re a fisherman living by a lake with a rowboat. Every day, you row out on the calm waters and life is good. But then your family grows, and Read more about 6G technology will bring haptic internet, mobile edge computing and holographic communications[…]
With the importance of non-contact environments growing due to COVID-19, tactile electronic devices using haptic technology are gaining traction as new mediums of communication. Haptic technology is being applied in Read more about New mediums of communication using haptic technology[…]
Although robotic devices are used in everything from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have a hard time accounting for the friction that occurs when those robots grip objects – particularly Read more about A new law of physics opens the door to creating more reliable and functional haptic and robotic devices[…]
