Partial Arm Weight Support Does Not Hamper the Weight Perception of Haptically-Rendered Virtual Objects: A Psychophysics Study [0.03%]
A L Ratschat,D A Abbink,G M Ribbers et al.
A L Ratschat et al.
Arm weight support (AWS) from upper-limb exoskeletons aids training by reducing fatigue and increasing the movement workspace, especially in people with acquired brain injury (ABI). Simultaneously, task-specific training could be enabled vi...
Harnessing the Power of Practice to Determine Inter-Stimulus Timing for Tactile Word Recognition [0.03%]
Tawanda Denzel Nyasulu,Shengzhi Du,Nico Steyn et al.
Tawanda Denzel Nyasulu et al.
Tactile language systems transmit language through temporally sequenced vibrotactile patterns on the skin. However, the Inter-Stimulus Interval (ISI) separating successive patterns is usually chosen a priori and applied uniformly, without g...
Human-in-the-Loop Pareto Optimization: Trade-off Characterization for Assist-as-Needed Training and Performance Evaluation [0.03%]

Tactile perception varies between individuals and the state of the grasp. To investigate the psychophysical effects on vibrotactile perceptions influenced by grasp type and strength of a handheld device, perceived intensities were tested ag...
Criterion for Quantifying Skin Mechanical Stimuli during Tactile Assessment of Ultra-Soft Materials such as Towels [0.03%]
用于评估如毛巾等超柔软材料时量化皮肤机械刺激的标准
Shenglin Cui,Atsushi Sakuma,Asuka Nagai et al.
Shenglin Cui et al.
The tactile sensation of towel fabrics, which originates from their pile structure, is strongly affected by the mechanical response under the low loads applied at the instant of contact. The pile structures formed from spun yarns create a g...
