Despite the relatively young age of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) as a field, there is a
large volume of research on advances in robot hardware, software and behavior. The goal …

Immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) empower
users to experience digital realities. Known as distinct technology classes, the lines between …

HapticBots introduces a novel encountered-type haptic approach for Virtual Reality (VR)
based on multiple tabletop-size shape-changing robots. These robots move on a tabletop …

Providing haptic feedback in virtual reality to make the experience more realistic has
become a strong focus of research in recent years. The resulting haptic feedback systems …

Encountered-type haptic devices (EHDs) face a number of challenges when physically
embodying content in a virtual environment, including workspace limits and device latency …

Current head-mounted displays enable users to explore virtual worlds by simply walking
through them (ie, real-walking VR). This led researchers to create haptic displays that can …

We focus on the problem of simulating the haptic infrastructure of a virtual environment (ie
walls, doors). Our approach relies on multiple ZoomWalls---autonomous robotic encounter …

Abstract The assembly in Virtual Reality (VR) enables users to fit virtual parts into existing
3D models immersively. However, users cannot physically feel the haptic feedback when …

This paper introduces VR Haptics at Home, a method of repurposing everyday objects in the
home to provide casual and on-demand haptic experiences. Current VR haptic devices are …

We present CoboDeck-our proof-of-concept immersive virtual reality haptic system with free
walking support. It provides prop-based encountered-type haptic feedback with a mobile …
