The development of tactile screens opens new perspectives for co-located images and
haptic rendering, leading to the concept of “haptic images.” They emerge from the …

Haptic enhancement of touchscreens usually involves vibrating motors producing limited
sensations or custom mechanical actuators that are difficult to disseminate. In this paper, we …

Social intelligence is an important requirement for enabling robots to collaborate with
people. In particular, human path prediction is an essential capability for robots in that it …

Today's technology still limits the accessing to 2D information (images, graphics, charts,
maps, paintings, etc.) for visually impaired people (VIP). Existing solutions for human …

This paper presents a novel touchscreen-based haptic device, which provides access to
graphical media for the visually impaired. The proposed device allows the exploration of …

In this paper, we present a robotic surface display that physically imitates the orientation of
virtual 3D geometry touched through a 2D flat screen. The proposed approach renders the …

Enhancing touch screen interfaces through non-visual cues has been shown to improve
performance. In this paper we report on a novel system that explores the usage of a …

The coupled movement of humans and robots is an integral aspect of human-robot
cooperation. However, while extensive research has been conducted on robot movement …

Business Activity Management (BAM) is becoming one of the most critical areas to transform
a business into an adaptive enterprise. However, to manage business activities and the …

In this paper, we introduce the KinesTouch, a novel approach for tactile screen
enhancement providing four types of haptic feedback with a single force-feedback device …
