Striving to improve touch sensing in robotics, scientists developed a thumb-shaped sensor with a camera hidden inside and trained a deep neural network to infer its haptic contact information.

Since Fujitsu's prototype Haptic Sensor Tablet revealed yesterday is all about touch, describing it will be like trying to explain how a steak tastes. But here goes: It works by emitting ...

A new Arduino project has been unveiled this week by Felix Ros created as part of his master’s studies at Eindhoven University and taking the form of a haptic drawing interface that uses a five ...

Scribble is a haptic interface lets you draw your way through traffic. In an environment where fully automated vehicles are becoming the expectation for the next step in transportation, Scribble pr… ...

If you’ve ever used a haptic trackpad, you know exactly what I’m talking about. But if you haven’t had the pleasure of using one yet, here’s why they’re awesome and why you’ll want ...

[polymythic] Is helping the blind see with his haptic feedback device called HALO. At the heart of the device is an Arduino Mega 2560 which senses objects with a few ultrasonic range finders and th… ...

As part of the peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Dermatology, atopic dermatitis patients experienced a 40% decrease in nighttime scratching duration due to the wearable’s haptic feedback.

This image shows the design of a soft, flexible skin-like material that conforms to the body, for wearable haptic devices. Sensor and actuator layers are separated by layers of silicone.

New tech out of the wearables lab of Northwestern University inventor John Rogers can go beyond the simple buzz of a typical haptic sensor to mimic complex sensations on the skin.
