Haptic perception and dynamic touch encompass the sophisticated processes through which the human sensorimotor system interprets object properties by means of active manipulation. This modality relies ...

Current views on face perception assume that the visual system receives only visual facial signals. However, I show that the visual perception of faces is systematically biased by adaptation to a ...

Marcia O’Malley, the Thomas Michael Panos Family Professor in Engineering and professor and chair of mechanical engineering at Rice University. Haptic devices, which enable communication through touch ...

Striving to improve touch sensing in robotics, scientists developed a thumb-shaped sensor with a camera hidden inside and trained a deep neural network to infer its haptic contact information. When ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Human skin is remarkably complex, containing an array of receptors that provide detailed sensory information about our environment through the sense of touch. One unique feature ...

Is it possible to count objects you can't see? If you've ever received a boxed gift, or a mysterious package from Amazon, you might have tried to lightly shake the box to try to guess its contents.

Virtual reality and prosthetics are advancing rapidly thanks to technological innovations, but both are still missing one key element—a sense of touch, also known as haptic feedback.

Actronika, a startup company known for its HD haptics technology has a futuristic new product. Expected to be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2022 is Skinetic, a haptic ...
