Closed loop application of electroadhesion for increased precision in texture rendering
share
Tactile displays based on friction modulation offer wide-bandwidth forces rendered directly on the fingertip. However, due to a number of touch conditions (e.g., normal force, skin hydration) that result in variations in the friction force and the strength of modulation effect, the precision of the force rendering remains limited. In this paper we demonstrate a closed-loop electroadhesion method for precise playback of friction force profiles on a human finger and we apply this method to the tactile rendering of several textiles encountered in everyday life.
