Research Abstract |
In this study, a new technology to display haptic information including "contact force distribution" and "surface texture" has been developed, and integrated device with various tactile display elements such as air-flow jet array and sense of cool display based on a new principle have been fabricated. The detailed topics of the study are as following, 1) Development of sense of cool display based on multi-jet venturi, 2) Microvalve development for pressure circuit for tactile display, 3) Design and fabrication of pressure vibration circuit, 4) Realization of Multi-functional tactile display, 5) Systematic research of tactile sense reproduction. During the project period, various kinds of new technology and devices have been realized. They will be a basic of the new technology to display haptic information including "contact force distribution" and "surface texture".
