The visual environment was a normal laboratory environment, which was enriched with a wide variety of appropriate visual and tactile stimuli.
With tactile sensors the collisions can be detected.
The seeming incongruity between the visual and the tactile can be explained by the laws of refraction.
In the present system, the neuron model, emulating the human tactile sensation, is used for fine step-height measurement.
The size and pitch between two adjacent tactile elements of the array are 10 x 13 and 3 mm, respectively.
To obtain specifications for this type of tactile display, we performed a series of psychophysical experiments in which figures and striped virtual textures were presented.
We also plan to use visual perception combined with force and tactile sensing for a multimodal acquisition of skills.
Therefore, the present gray-scale method is effective for the micro-tactile sensor.
