    Custom Haptic and Tactile System

    University of Alberta
    • A set of tactors capable of delivering proportional pressure or pulses to a surface such as human skin. Custom made devices and software for sensory feedback applications that include prosthetics, virtual reality environments, and augmented reality environments. Two mounting systems are developed to apply somatotopically accurate feedback to the fingertips, or modality matched feedback to the forearm or any other part of the body.

    • The tactor devices use a lightweight Dymond D47 servo motor (Dymond, USA) with a 3D printed rack and pinion system to apply force to the user.

    • The tactors are secured to the user with Velcro straps.

    • Washable foam provides cushioning to prevent irritation to the user.

    • This system can provide up to 12 N of force with a throw of 14 mm.
