향후 휴대폰 시장에서 큰 비중을 차지할 것으로 예상되는 터치스크린 휴대폰은 많은 장점이 있으나 피드백이 명확하지 않다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 일반적으로 청각 및 촉각 피드백을 같이 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 모바일 사용 환경에 서 청각과 촉각 피드백의 작용에 대해 알고자 한다. 연구 1 에서 터치스크린 휴대폰 피드백을 경험한 느낌을 정성조사 하였다. 그 결과 피드백이 소리, 진동 어느 쪽이라도 제공될 경우, 더 만족을 하였으나, 각각의 사용자 의견은 매우 다양하게 나타났다. 연구 2 에서는 피드백의 종류와 피드백 방해 자극에 따라 수행수준과 주관적 작업 부하량을 알아보는 실험을 설계하였다. 소리가 제공될 경우 더 빠른 수행속도를 보였으며, 주관적인 작업부하를 평정했을 때에 소리와 진동이 같이 제공될 경우, 작업이 더 쉽고 덜 귀찮다고 느껴졌다. 본 연구는 소리 피드백이 진동 피드백 보다는 효과적일 수 있다는 결과를 보여주었다. 피드백의 질적 측면 및 학습시간과 수행과의 관계 및 실 사용 상황에서 피드백을 선택하게 하는 요인에 대해서는 향후 연구되어야 한다.

In teleoperation, it is important for an operator to feel as if he really were in a distant place. To realize this objective, the various information from a remote site must be presented to the operator. Even though tactile information is very important to efficiently execute a task, it is not yet sufficiently provided for the operator. In this paper, we propose the new mechanism that can provide the more dexterous tactile information to the operator This device utilizing the electromagnetic force is designed to be compact and light enough to be attached to the fingerpad, and designed to be controlled continuously. The magnetic circuit is derived by the probable flux paths method in order to take forces at any given dimension. An optimization technique is also proposed to maximize the tactile force that humans can perceive under the same conditions. The objective function is formulated as maximizing displacements indented on the fingerpad, considering the mechanism of human tactile perception. The optimization formulation is subject to the geometric and rising temperature constraints in the coil. It is demonstrated that, by optimization, the tactile force increases by 24%, compared with that obtained from the initial design.

시각장애인들에게는 길 찾기 및 탐색이 어려운 과제이기 때문에, 이들의 독립적이고 자율적인 이동성 향상에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 그러나 기존의 점자 촉각 지도는 여러 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 기술의 발달과 함께 촉각 지도에 다른 인터랙션 방식을 더하려는 시도들이 존재해왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 흐름 속에서 새로운 대화형 인터랙티브 촉각 지도 인터페이스를 개발하였다. 촉각 탐색을 하는 동안 사용자의 터치를 인식하여 음성 피드백을 제공하며, 사용자가 음성 에이전트와 대화를 나눌 수 있고 이를 통해 관심 지점에 대한 정보나 경로 안내를 받을 수 있다. 사용성 테스트를 진행하기 위해 프로토타입을 제작하였으며, 실제 시각장애인들을 대상으로 프로토타입 사용 후 설문 및 인터뷰를 통한 실험을 진행하였다. 점자를 사용한 기존 촉각 지도보다 본 연구에서 제작된 인터랙티브 촉각 지도 프로토타입이 시각장애인들에게 더욱 높은 사용성을 제공하였다. 시각장애인들은 본 연구의 프로토타입을 사용했을 때 더 빨리 시작 지점 및 관심 지점을 찾을 수 있었고 더 높은 독립성 및 확신을 가질 수 있었다고 보고하였다. 본 연구는 시각장애인의 지도 이용 및 경험을 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 촉각 지도 인터페이스를 제시하였다. 실험에서 프로토타입의 개선 방향에 대한 다양한 피드백을 받을 수 있었다. 아직 개발 단계에 있기 때문에, 이를 반영한 후속 연구를 통해 이를 더욱 발전시킬 수 있을 것이다.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine the most effective feedback condition for static balance in elderly subjects. METHODS: Thirty-eight elderly subjects (12 men and 26 women with a mean age of 77.21 years) participated in this study. They each completed a questionnaire on their general characteristics, excluding personal identification codes. The static balance ability of the participants was evaluated using a Wii Balance Board and the Balancia program (version 2.0). The following three feedback conditions were considered: condition 1 (tactile feedback), condition 2 (visual feedback), and condition 3 (no feedback). One-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used for the comparisons according to sway length and sway velocity. The statistical significance level was set to α = .05 for all variables. RESULTS: Significant differences in the sway length and sway velocity were observed between the three conditions (p < .05). Significant differences in the sway length were noted in the order of conditions 1, 2, and 3 (p < .05), and significant differences in the sway velocity in the order of conditions 3, 2, and 1 (p < .05). CONCLUSION: Significant differences in static balance ability were observed between the three conditions. In this study, tactile feedback was found to be the most effective feedback for balance training. Owing to aging and impairment of the senses, such as that observed in the tactile receptors, visual receptors, and proprioceptors, it is recommended that elderly subjects participate in balance training.

Telemanipulator became one of refocused fields with the help of various technology integration concerned. As one of key technologies much simpler opeartion of manipulator by operators and feedback method to operator can be counted. For such purpose virtual reality techniques are being implemented and in this paper tactile feeling among human 5 feelings will be discussed. Movement manipulation in free space and gripper manipulation methods are discussed in combination with operator's organs. Tactile signal of telemanipulator's gripper is also integrated into tactile VR control system. Such tactile VR technology is regarded as one of important roles for advanced robot technology.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of visual and tactile feedback on muscle activity of the gluteus maximus (Gmax) and abdominal muscles and the motion of pelvic rotation during performance of clam exercise (CE). Methods: Thirteen subjects without low back pain were recruited for this study. Each subject was instructed to perform the CE without and with feedback. The subjects were instructed to keep pelvic from rotating backwards by palpating the ASIS and monitoring the pelvic movement by themselves during performance of CE with feedback. The electromyographic (EMG) activities of Gmax and abdominal muscles were collected using surface EMG. Angles of pelvic rotation were measured using a 3-dimensional motion-analysis system. Paired t-tests were used for comparison of EMG activities in each muscle and the angle of pelvic rotation. Results: The EMG activities of all abdominal muscles were not significant between CM without and CM with feedback (p>0.05). The EMG activity of Gmax was significantly greater in CM with feedback compared with CM without feedback (without vs. with feedback; 14.2% vs. 20.7%MVIC) (p<0.05). The angle of pelvic rotation was significantly less in CM with feedback compared with CM without feedback (without vs. with feedback; $15.3^{\circ}$ vs. $10.8^{\circ}$ ) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, these findings suggest that CM with the visual and tactile feedback is effective in activation of the Gmax and correcting of the uncontrolled lumbopelvic rotation during CE.

This paper proposes an IR (infrared) LED (Light Emitting Diode)-based tactile fingertip sensor that can independently measure the normal and tangential force between the hand and an object. The proposed IR LED-based tactile sensor has several advantages over other technologies, including a low price, small size, and good sensitivity. The design of the first prototype is described and some experiments are conducted to show output characteristics of the proposed sensor. Furthemore, the effectiveness of the proposed sensor is demonstrated through anti-slip control in a multifunction myoelectric hand, called the KNU Hand, which includes several novel mechanisms for improved grasping capabilities. The experimental results show that slippage was avoided by simple force control using feedback on the normal and tangential force from the proposed sensor. Thus, grasping force control was achieved without any slippage or damage to the object.

Monitoring of mechanical properties of tissues as well as direction/quantities of forces is considered as an essential way for disease diagnosis and haptic feedback systems. There are extensively increasing interests for measuring normal/shear force and touch feelings, especially for surgery systems. Highly sensitive and flexible tactile sensor is needed in palpation for detecting cancer cyst as well as real time pressure monitoring in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Importantly, MEMS technique with miniaturized fabrication technique is essential for the on-chip integration with biopsy and biomedical grasper. Here, we propose the flexible tactile sensor with high sensitivity based on piezoresistive effect. We analyzed the sensitivity according to the pressure and directions and showed the ability of discrimination of the different materials surfaces, illustrating the feasibility of the flexible tactile sensor for biomedical grasper by mimicking human skin.
