How can haptic feedback, which uses vibrations to simulate real touch sensations, be improved to provide more accurate data to users? This is what a recent | Technology ...

From virtual reality to rehabilitation and communication, haptic technology has revolutionized the way humans interact with ...

The sense of touch gives you vital information about the world around you. From gripping a coffee mug to shaking hands or feeling fabric, touch helps you interact with objects and people. Beneath your ...

Northwestern says the new device can simulate a much more realistic sense of touch. It could even let deaf people "feel" ...

When it comes to haptic feedback, most technologies are limited to simple vibrations. But our skin is loaded with tiny sensors that detect pressure, vibration, stretching and more.

“Part of the reason haptic technology lags video and audio in its richness and realism is that the mechanics of skin deformation are complicated,” said Northwestern’s J. Edward Colgate, a haptics ...

Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or ...
