Haptics

Abstract Spacesuits are essential for ensuring the safety and functionality of astronauts during space missions. However, they can introduce challenges such as sensory deprivation, reduced dexterity, and lower cognitive performance, which can increase the risk of error. In our previous research, we have shown that adding sound transparency to a suit improves cognitive scores with the block design task. Building upon these findings, here we evaluate use of electro haptics feedback in place of traditional haptics.

This dataset contains tool-tissue interaction data from a series of partial meniscectomy punches, using an Acufex 1.5 mm upbiter punch. The data was collected from a cadaveric meniscus. The intended use of the data is haptic rendering of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy procedures.

This is a dataset of 32 five-second-long vibration recordings. One human used a metal tool to perform one of two tool-mediated surface interactions (tapping or dragging) on the following four different surfaces: sandpaper (hard and rough), acrylic plastic (hard and smooth), rough paper (soft and rough), and rubber (soft and smooth). Each of the eight combinations of interaction and surface were recorded four times.

The datasets are related to the findings and results of our investigations of the minimal force thresholds perception in robotic surgical applications. The experimental setup included an indenter-based haptic device acting on the fingertip of a participant and a visual system displays grasping tasks by a surgical grasper. The experiments included the display of a set of presentations in three different modes, namely, visual-alone, haptic-alone, and bimodal (i.e., combined). Sixty participants took part in these experiments and were asked to distinguish between consecutive presentations.

In robotic grasping and manipulation, force feedback is one of the most important factors. In the absence of force feedback, force control and compliant grasping is almost impossible. In this study a novel Vibrational Haptic feedback system is designed. The system gives individual digit awareness of a multipronged robotic gripper to the user. It also gives force level feedback from each fingertip and simultaneous multiple force level feedback, all through one wearable elastic “Vibrational Haptic Band (Vi-HaB)”.
