Haptic perception: A tutorial
This tutorial focuses on the sense of touch within the context of a fully active human observer. It is intended for graduate students and researchers outside the discipline who seek an introduction to the rapi...

Teleoperated sensing by gras**: Robot sensors and human psychophysics
An interesting problem for a robot that is manipulating an object in the environment, either directly or by using a tool, would be to perceive the length of the object and/or tool. This paper addresses the pro...

The role of haptic versus visual volume cues in the size-weight illusion
Three experiments establish the size-weight illusion as a primarily haptic phenomenon, despite its having been more traditionally considered an example of vision influencing haptic processing. Experiment 1 doc...

The Physiology and Psychophysics of Touch
We have selected material for this presentation by structuring the discussion around a series of critical questions that might be asked with a view toward modelling a biological tactile sensing system.

The haptic radial-tangential effect: Two tests of Wong’s “moments-of-inertia” hypothesis
When a given length is haptically traced, the direction of hand movements (relative to the body) influences the length perceived. A recent theory by Wong (1977) states that the source of the illusion is undete...

Tactile roughness of grooved surfaces: A model and the effect of friction
Previous experimental data on the roughness of grooved aluminum tiles provide a data base against which to test theories of roughness perception. A model based on the static deformation of the skin touching th...
