In this work we present a novel haptic device that applies cutaneous force feedback to the forearm. We called it HapBand. It is composed of three moving plates, whose action on the forearm resembles the squeeze of a human hand. In order to validate the device, we carried out an experiment of remote tactile interaction. A glove, instrumented with five force sensors, registered the contact forces at the remote site, while the HapBand mimicked the registered sensation to the user’s forearm. Results showed the HapBand to well resemble the squeezing sensation on the forearm.

Abstract

In this work we present a novel haptic device that applies cutaneous force feedback to the forearm. We called it HapBand. It is composed of three moving plates, whose action on the forearm resembles the squeeze of a human hand. In order to validate the device, we carried out an experiment of remote tactile interaction. A glove, instrumented with five force sensors, registered the contact forces at the remote site, while the HapBand mimicked the registered sensation to the user’s forearm. Results showed the HapBand to well resemble the squeezing sensation on the forearm.
