Roberta L. Klatzky: Rendering Material Properties through Touch | CMU RI Seminar
Abstract: “Humans haptically perceive the material properties of objects, such as roughness and compliance, through signals from sensory receptors in skin, muscles, tendons, and joints. Approaches to haptic rendering of material properties operate by stimulating, or attempting to stimulate, some or all of these receptor populations. My talk will describe research on haptic perception of roughness and softness in real objects and surfaces and by rendering with a variety of devices.”
