Abstract

We present a new type of multi-finger haptic display in which finger contact locations can be changed by a simple mechanism. Our mechanism independently represents the force for thumb, index and middle fingers and contact location changing mechanism. We fabricated experimental units using carbon-fibre reinforced composite material. This haptic display can be used with Spidar to easily expand the area of operation.
