摘要: Humans are extremely adept at eliciting useful information through touch, and the tactile domain has huge potential for handheld wearable electronic devices. Smart materials may be central to exploiting this potential. The skin is highly sensitive laterotactile stimulation, where elements move laterally against skin, modality well suited Wearable devices should soft compliant, in order with user comfortable. We present characterize a display using compliant dielectric elastomer actuators. carry out an initial psychophysical study determine absolute sensitivity threshold of find that low frequencies higher than normal stimulation. Our results suggest mechanoreceptors close surface (SA1, FA1) have improved believe our lay foundation range new robotic human interface smart materials.
