Humanoid robot hands are expected to replace human hands in the dexterous manipulation
of objects. This paper presents a review of humanoid robot hand research and development …

This paper presents a system of two double-gimbal control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) for
providing ungrounded kinesthetic haptic feedback. By spinning a second flywheel opposite …

Although force-feedback devices are already being used, the human ability to perceive
forces has not been documented thoroughly. The haptic perception of force direction and …

Haptic information is essential in everyday activities, especially for visually impaired people
in terms of real-world navigation. Since human haptic sensory processing is nonlinear …

Active touch sensing is known to facilitate the discrimination or recognition of the spatial
properties of an object from the movement of tactile sensors on the skin and by integrating …

Sensory information from tactile mechanoreceptors located in the glabrous skin of the hand
is crucial for skillful object exploration and manipulation. These mechanoreceptors reliably …

This paper presents a two degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) force feedback joystick with a 2-DOF
skin stretch feedback device integrated into the top of its handle (where the user rests his/her …

In the transferring of expert skills, it takes a great deal of time and effort for beginners to
obtain new skills, and it is difficult to teach the skills by using only words. For those reasons …

This chapter reviews research that deals with measuring the precision and/or the accuracy
of haptic force perception, using psychophysical methods. Other aspects of force perception …

In this chapter, we first review the current literature related to the haptic data compression
techniques. Subsequently, we review the concept of using perceptual deadzone for data …
