Wearable thermoelectric generators (WTEGs) can incessantly convert body heat into
electricity to power electronics. However, the low efficiency of thermoelectric materials, tiny …

This paper reviews tactual perception of material properties such as roughness, compliance,
coldness and friction. Psychophysical functions relating physical properties to perception are …

Wearable thermoelectric generators provide a reliable power generation method for self-
powered wearable electronic devices. However, there has been a lack of research …

Thermal displays have been developed to present thermal cues to the hand to facilitate
object recognition in virtual environments or in teleoperated robotic systems. This review …

Some materials feel colder to the touch than others, and we can use this difference in
perceived coldness for material recognition. This review focuses on the mechanisms …

Wearable electronic devices, which can provide hassle-free, long-term, continuous
monitoring for different health parameters are of interest for a variety of applications …

We have developed three different versions of a multifunction haptic device that can display
touch, pressure, vibration, shear force, and temperature to the skin of an upper extremity …

This paper deals with the problem of fault diagnosis (FD) for a class of nonlinear systems.
The scheme is based on a discrete-time diagnostic observer that computes a prediction of …

The objective of this research is to analyze and model the decreases in skin temperature
when the hand makes contact with an object at room temperature so that thermal feedback …

Fueled by novel applications, interest in haptic perception is growing. This paper provides
an overview of the state of the art of a number of important aspects of haptic perception. By …
