본 연구는 비접촉식 센서 기반의 웨어러블 디바이스를 이용한 딥러닝 기반의 제스처 인식에 대한 연구이다. 이를 위하여 Flexible MSG 센서를 기반으로 한 Flexible Epidermal Tactile Sensor를 사용하였으며, Flexible Epidermal Tactile Sensor는 손, 손가락 제스처를 취했을 때 손목, 손가락과 연결되어 있는 근육들의 움직임에 따라 발생하는 피부 표면의 전극을 취득하는 센서이다. 실험을 위하여 7가지 손, 손가락 제스처를 정의하였으며, 손목의 꺾임, 손목의 뒤틀림, 손가락의 오므림과 펴짐, 아무 동작도 취하지 않은 기본 상태에 대한 제스처로 정의하였다. 실험 데이터 수집에는 손목이나 손가락에 부상, 장애등이 없는 일반적인 8명의 참가자가 참가하였으며 각각 한 제스처에 대하여 20번씩 반복하여 1120개의 샘플을 수집하였다. 입력신호에 대한 제스처를 학습하기 위해 본 논문에서는 1차원 Convolutional Neural Network를 제안하였으며, 성능 비교를 위해 신호의 크기를 반영하는 특징벡터인 Integral Absolute Value와 Difference Absolute Mean Value를 입력신호에서 추출하고 Support Vector Machine을 사용하여 본 논문에서 제안한 1차원 CNN과 성능비교를 하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 1차원 CNN의 분류 정확도가 우수한 성능을 나타냈다.

This study proposed 'Body Food,' an interactive tactile mat that provides interactive visual responses and induces physical activity in young children at the time of developing tactile and five senses, along with the touch of various stimuli. The product combines fiber materials and digital content to achieve a variety of visual and auditory responses in real time when children touch the fabric. User tests were conducted for 4-year-olds and the result was positive in terms of physical exercise and artistic experience, but quantitative testing is required to generalize it. In the future, we will complement physical and digital contents to realize more complete product.

In this paper, we describe a study on the influence of the frequency variation of normal vibration using an integrated tactile display. It is necessary to consider this study because we want to find a method of displaying finer texture and know that the perception of fine textures is heavily influenced by temporal variation. Our tactile display system used in this experiment can simulate the micro shapes and roughness of surface textures by individual drives of a 6x8 pin array. Two experiments are performed. The first is a psychophysical experiment on the definition and range decision of roughness, and through the experiment, we clear up the meaning of roughness. The second is the main experiment about the frequency variation of normal vibration. We find the correlation between the vibration frequency and the texture and the condition for better display and perception of fine surfaces. The experimental results yielded two pieces of information. One is that lateral movement affects texture discrimination, and another is that normal vibration can make the perceived texture feel finer than real texture. That is, the vibrating stimulus is more effective for displaying a fine surface than static pressure, and it makes possible to display finer texture, exceeding the physical limit of the device.

Haptic interface apparatus is the device which can offer users virtual reality not only by visualization of virtual space but also by force or tactile feedback. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a 2D haptic interface device that can be used for various purposes, and implemented a virtual air-hockey system that users can easily find in game rooms. By suitable modeling and haptic rendering, users can feel the impact and the reaction force with his/her hand holding the handle through 2D haptic interface device when he/she hit an air-hockey puck with the handle. Through the trial demonstration. we observed the reasonable effect of direction and speed of a ball like doing in reality.

Haptic device is regarded as the human machine interface technology for easier, more accurate, and intuitive operation. The purpose of this study is to define driver's affection on the haptic device in terms of its design factor : the color of haptic lighting as independent factor. This paper is studied to improve the cognitive ability of existing vehicle haptic device used by only a tactile feedback. On the color feedback usability evaluation, the lmino haptic device is used by adding color feedback to the existing vehicle haptic device. The emotional factor that driver has on the haptic device is extracted by the sensibility analysis. As a result, it is possible to suggest the design direction that satisfies the driver.

In this paper, we explain a haptic based video and audio streaming method. The proposed method is to stream tactile and vibration information along with video and audio information. The video screen is divided into a grid, and each cell has tactile information which is corresponding to the content. At the same time, the sound stream is also analyzed and vibration information is applied. These data are streamed to clients and displayed through a haptic device and a vibration interface. So, a client will be more immersed into the video and audio by touching and getting vibrations.

Piezoelectric vibrators can be good replacements of electric motors to excite touch screen of a mobile device owing to small volume and low power consumption. One problem to be solved yet for real application is larger excitation force or moment than available currently. More efficient excitation by a piezoelectric vibrator could be achieved by operating at one of resonance frequencies of the system, which must also be as close as possible to frequency range where index finger is most sensitive and increasing transmission force or moment at that frequency. In this study, dynamic models are derived for the piezoelectric exciter and an adhesive viscoelastic layer, which connect the exciter to the screen. The adhesive layer is modeled as distributed stiffness by considering its geometric shape to relative to the piezoelectric exciter. Then, equations of motion for the piezoelectric exciter and the adhesive layer are derived using Hamilton's principle. Based on this model, dynamic characteristics of the exciter will be designed to maximize the force or moment transmitted onto the screen structure.

Recently, 3D printing technology has gained increased attention in the manufacturing industry because it allows the manufacturing of complex but sophisticated structures as well as moderate production speed. Owing to advantages of 3D printers, such as flexible design, customization, rapid prototyping, and ease of access, can also be advantageous to sensor developments, 3D printing demands have increased in various active device fields, including sensor manufacturing. In particular, 3D printing technology is of significant interest in tactile sensor development where piezoelectric materials are typically embedded to acquire voltage signals from external stimuli. In regard with piezoelectricity, researchers have worked with various piezoelectric materials to achieve high piezoelectric response, but the structural approach is limited because ceramics have been regarded as challenging materials for complex design owing to their limited manufacturing methods. If appropriate piezoelectric materials and approaches to design are used, sensors can be fabricated with the improved piezoelectric response and high sensitivity that cannot be found in common bulk materials. In this study, various 3D printing technologies, material combinations, and applications of various piezoelectric sensors using the 3D printing method are reviewed.
