Download or read book Tactile Perception by Electrovibration written by Yasemin Vardar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the mechanisms underpinning the tactile perception of electrovibration and lays the groundwork for delivering realistic haptic feedback on touchscreens via this method. Effective utilization of electrovibration can only be accomplished by simultaneously investigating both the physical and perceptual aspects of the finger-touchscreen interaction. Towards this goal, present work blends the available knowledge on electromechanical properties of the human finger and human tactile perception with the results of new psychophysical experiments and physical measurements. By following such an approach that combines both theoretical and experimental information, the study proposes new methods and insights on generating realistic haptic effects, such as textures and edges on these displays. Besides, state-of-the-art research on the field is reviewed, and future work is discussed. The presented interdisciplinary methods and insights can interest students, broad communities of haptics, neuroscience, engineering, physics, and cognitive sciences, as well as user-interaction experts and product designers from the industry.

Download or read book Making Sense of Haptics written by Femke Elise van Beek and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tele operation systems, in which robots are controlled remotely, are a potential solution to performing tasks in remote, small, and hazardous environments. However, there is a big disadvantage to these systems; as the direct connection between the human and the environment is lost and operators are deprived of their sense of touch. The recreation of touch feedback through haptic devices is a possible solution, however haptic devices are far from perfect and improving their design is usually a slow trial-and-error process. This book describes 7 scientific studies that try to break this slow loop by using a deductive approach. Through investigating fundamental properties of human haptic perception using psychophysical paradigms, general knowledge on haptic perception of force, position, movement and hardness was gained. The resulting information can be applied to many different haptic devices. Consequently haptic systems can be more easily designed in an intuitive, human-centered way.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Perceptual Organization written by Johan Wagemans and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 1121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perceptual organization comprises a wide range of processes such as perceptual grouping, figure-ground organization, filling-in, completion, perceptual switching, etc. Such processes are most notable in the context of shape perception but they also play a role in texture perception, lightness perception, color perception, motion perception, depth perception, etc. Perceptual organization deals with a variety of perceptual phenomena of central interest, studied from many different perspectives, including psychophysics, experimental psychology, neuropsychology, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and computational modeling. Given its central importance in phenomenal experience, perceptual organization has also figured prominently in classic Gestalt writings on the topic, touching upon deep philosophical issues regarding mind-brain relationships and consciousness. In addition, it attracts a great deal of interest from people working in applied areas like visual art, design, architecture, music, and so forth. The Oxford Handbook of Perceptual Organization provides a broad and extensive review of the current literature, written in an accessible form for scholars and students. With chapter written by leading researchers in the field, this is the state-of-the-art reference work on this topic, and will be so for many years to come.
Download or read book Smart Wearable Devices in Healthcare Methodologies Applications and Algorithms written by Chang Yan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wearable health devices have been an emerging technology that enables an ambulatory acquisition of physiological signals to monitor health status over a long time (hours/days/weeks/years) inside and outside clinical environments. Big data and deep learning, in particular, are receiving a lot of attention in this rapidly growing digital health community. A key benefit of deep learning is to analyze and learn massive amounts of data, which makes it especially valuable in healthcare since raw data is largely gathered from personalized wearable health devices. A wide range of users may benefit from unobstructed and even remote monitoring of pertinent or vital signs, which makes it easier to detect life-threatening diseases early, track the progression of pathologies and stress levels, evaluate the efficacy of therapies, provide low-cost and reliable diagnoses, etc. Today’s personal health devices have provided an amazing insight into people’s health and wellness, which allow clinicians to use these smart wearables to collect and analyze measuring data like electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), respiration, heart rate, temperature level, blood oxygen, and blood pressure for health monitoring or clinical trials. This Research Topic mainly focuses on the technical revolution in wearable health systems, which aims to design more smart and useful wearables, contributing to a substantial change in the methodologies, applications, and algorithms of machine learning for wearable health devices. With the help of deep learning and sensor fusion capabilities from wearable health platforms, this data will be used more effectively, which can help to construct smart, novel, specific solutions to improve the quality of healthcare and capabilities of utilizing new deep learning technologies.
Download or read book Personalizing Haptics written by Hasti Seifi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a vision for haptic personalization tools and lays the foundations for achieving it. Effective haptic personalization requires a suite of tools unified by one underlying conceptual model that can easily be incorporated into users’ workflows with various applications. Toward this vision, the book introduces three mechanisms for haptic personalization and details development of two of them into: 1) an efficient interface for choosing from a large haptic library, and 2) three emotion controls for adjusting haptic signals. A series of quantitative experiments identifies five schemas (engineering, sensation, emotion, metaphor, and usage examples) for how end-users think and talk about haptic sensations and characterizes them as the underlying model for the personalization tools. Personalizing Haptics highlights the need for scalable haptic evaluation methodologies and presents two methodologies for large-scale in-lab evaluation and online crowdsourcing of haptics. While the work focuses on vibrotactile signals as the most mature and accessible type of haptic feedback for end-users, the concepts and findings extend to other categories of haptics. Taking haptics to the crowds will require haptic design practices to go beyond the current one-size-fits-all approach to satisfy users’ diverse perceptual, functional, and hedonic needs reported in the literature. This book provides a starting point for students, researchers, and practitioners in academia or industry who aim to adapt their haptic and multisensory designs to the needs and preferences of a wide audience.

Download or read book Cutaneous Haptic Feedback in Robotic Teleoperation written by Claudio Pacchierotti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work addresses the challenge of providing effective cutaneous haptic feedback in robotic teleoperation, with the objective of achieving the highest degree of transparency whilst guaranteeing the stability of the considered systems. On the one hand, it evaluates teleoperation systems that provide only cutaneous cues to the operator, thus guaranteeing the highest degree of safety. This cutaneous-only approach shows intermediate performance between no force feedback and full haptic feedback provided by a grounded haptic interface, and it is best suitable for those scenarios where the safety of the system is paramount, e.g., robotic surgery. On the other hand, in order to achieve a higher level of performance, this work also investigates novel robotic teleoperation systems with force reflection able to provide mixed cutaneous and kinesthetic cues to the operator. Cutaneous cues can compensate for the temporary reduction of kinesthetic feedback necessary to satisfy certain stability conditions. This state-of-the-art volume is oriented toward researchers, educators, and students who are interested in force feedback techniques for robotic teleoperation, cutaneous device design, cutaneous rendering methods and perception studies, as well as readers from different disciplines who are interested in applying cutaneous haptic technologies and methods to their field of interest.
