Humans are able to intuitively exploit the shape of an object and environmental constraints
to achieve stable grasps and perform dexterous manipulations. In doing that, a vast range of …

Despite the importance of softness, there is no evidence of wearable haptic systems able to
deliver controllable softness cues. Here, we present the Wearable Fabric Yielding Display (W…

In recent years, wearability has become a new fundamental requirement for an effective and
lightweight design of human-robot interfaces. Among the different application fields, robotic …

Wearable haptic systems can be easily integrated with the human body and represent an
effective solution for a natural and unobtrusive stimulus delivery. These characteristics can …

In vision, Augmented Reality (AR) allows the superposition of digital content on real-world
visual information, relying on the well-established See-through paradigm. In the haptic domain…

Haptic devices have a high potential for delivering tailored training to novices. These
devices can simulate forces associated with real-world tasks, or provide guidance forces that …

Myoelectric artificial limbs can significantly advance the state of the art in prosthetics, since
they can be used to control mechatronic devices through muscular activity in a way that …

Palpation is an essential step of several open surgical procedures for locating arteries by
arterial pulse detection. In this context, surgical simulation would ideally provide realistic haptic …

Recurrent or sustained awkward body postures are among the most frequently cited risk
factors to the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). To prevent …

It is known that high-frequency tactile information conveys useful cues to discriminate important
contact properties for manipulation, such as first contact and roughness. Despite this, no …
