The Haptic Probe: Mechanized Haptic Exploration and Automated Modeling
It seems likely that humans build internal models of objects that they explore haptically, and that the complexity of an internal model is not necessarily associated with complex ...

How Well Can We Encode Spatial Layout from Sparse Kinesthetic Contact?
We investigated people’s ability to report the shape and scale of a spatial layout after sparse contact, without vision. We propose that the initial representation of sparsely c...

Haptic Effects for Virtual Reality-Based Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
The majority of today’s haptic interfaces are designed for hand-based interaction with virtual environments. However, there are several reallife tasks that require a person to i...

The Effect of Sensor/Actuator Asymmetries in Haptic Interfaces
Haptic interfaces enable us to interact with virtual objects by sensing our actions and communicating them to a virtual environment. A haptic interface with force feedback capabil...
