The majority of virtual reality (VR) applications rely on audiovisual stimuli and do not exploit
the addition of other sensory cues that could increase the potential of VR. This systematic …

Robot assisted surgery (RAS) provides medical practitioners with valuable tools, decreasing
strain during surgery and leading to better patient outcomes. While the loss of haptic …

Upper limb amputees lack the valuable tactile sensing that helps provide context about the
surrounding environment. Here, we utilize tactile information to provide active touch …

Haptic and proprioceptive feedback is critical for sensorimotor integration when we use our
hand to perform daily tasks. Here, we evaluated how externally evoked haptic and …

This paper presents a new solution to haptic based teleoperation to control a large-sized
slave robot for space exploration, which includes two specially designed haptic joysticks, a …

Teleoperation during a catastrophic event requires an interface that can perform under
frequently changing circumstances caused by unpredictable and dangerous conditions …

Tactile feedback is of great significance for amputees to improve the controllability of
prosthetic hands and obtain tactile information regarding the interacting objects, which …

When manipulating objects, we use kinesthetic and tactile information to form an internal
representation of their mechanical properties for cognitive perception and for preventing …

Lifting an object requires precise scaling of fingertip forces based on a prediction of object
weight. At object contact, a series of tactile and visual events arise that need to be rapidly …

During interaction with objects, we form an internal representation of their mechanical
properties. This representation is used for perception and for guiding actions, such as in …
