Multi-channel vibrotactile display for teleoperated assembly

초록

This paper presents the design and testing of a multi-channel vibrotactile display. It is composed of a cylindrical handle with four embedded vibrating elements driven by piezoelectric beams. Vibrations are transmitted to the hands through arrays of pins. The device was tested in sensory substitution for conveying force information during a teleoperated peg insertion. Results show that the device is effective in reducing peak forces during the insertion task.
