In this article, we address the effects on haptic recognition of common objects when manual
exploration is constrained by using two kinds of rigid links—sheaths (Experiment 1A) and …

This article presents an overview of the current state of research and application of haptic
(primarily kinesthetic) feedback and force-based teleoperation in the context of surgical …

Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor
aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives …

As technology expands and evolves, one-dimensional, graphical user interface (GUI) design
becomes increasingly limiting and simplistic. Designers must meet the challenge of …

The term “haptics” refers to the science of sensing and manipulation through touch. Multiple
disciplines such as biomechanics, psychophysics, robotics, neuroscience, and software …

Touch is one of the most important sensory inputs during the performance of surgery.
However, the literature on kinesthetic and tactile feedback both called haptics in surgical …

Context: Users can have conflicting opinions and different experiences when using software
and user reviews serve as a channel in which users can document their opinions and …

In general the word “haptic” refers to the sense of touch. This sense is essentially twofold,
including both cutaneous touch and kinesthetic touch. Cutaneous touch refers to the …

Touching a real object with your fingertip provides simultaneous tactile and force feedback,
yet most haptic interfaces for virtual environments can convey only one of these two …

Platforms capable of generating rich haptic feedback are usually quite expensive and under
strict proprietary protection. In addition, most of them are not portable and do not deliver a …
