Control and pattern specification for a high desity tactile array

摘要

In this paper we discuss the control and spationtempral pattern specification for a high density tactile display. The display consists of a configuratiomn of 400 probes applying approximately normal forces to the contact surface. Except for horizontal skin stretch, the device is designed to be capable of simulating most psychophysically and physiologically relevant spatotemporal patterns. It also is capable of providing a high resolution test-bed for tactile rendering algorithms for haptic interfaces.
