How can haptic feedback, which uses vibrations to simulate real touch sensations, be improved to provide more accurate data to users? This is what a recent | Technology ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more.

Northwestern's wireless device mimics real touch by replicating vibrations, pressure, stretching, and more—delivering a ...

"Part of the reason haptic technology lags video and audio in its richness and realism is that the mechanics of skin deformation are complicated," said Northwestern's J. Edward Colgate, a haptics ...

Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or ...

"True immersion in haptic technology depends not just on what users feel but ... particularly in fields such as medical rehabilitation, prosthetic development and human-machine interaction," O'Malley ...

Scientists have developed a small-scale actuator tech that can impart omnidirectional, superimposable, dynamic forces to the ...

"The system provides real-time feedback through a haptic device, allowing the operator to feel forces acting on the microrobots as they move or interact with their surroundings." This technology ...

It's easy to take for granted the gentle buzz of your smartwatch when the timer you set for your boiling water goes off. Simple haptic feedback like this has helped humans and machines communicate ...
