To realize artificial device with sensing ability of the human skin, a mono-material tactile sensor with three sensing functions made of some elastic thin electro-conductive rubber sheet with eight latticed patch elements is proposed. This trial sensor provides the information of three kinds of model material characteristics such as thermal property, hardness property and the surface situation of materials by setting up three kinds of surface models as test materials. It can be finally expected to estimate unknown model materials by analyzing the data of the sensor.

In oriental medicine, it is possible to classify each person into eight kinds of constitutions based on the eight constitutional medicine theory. We developed a piezoelectric 3-channel tactile sensor using PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) film for pulse detection of the radial artery. High frequency buffer (impulse buffer), amplifier, 60 Hz noise notch filter and low pass filter were integrated on three sheets of PCB board. The pulses of the radial artery at three points were checked using our system. Each constitution of the eight ones has different combinations of pulses.

The feasibility of using AE for detecting contact and slip between a workpiece and an end effector has been tested. Specifically, the relationship between the contact and slip motion and the characteristics of the AE signal is theoretically and experimentally investigated. The experimental results manifest that the high sensitivity of AE signal to the contact and slip makes it a good alternative as a robot tactile sensor.

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.

테이블 탑 디스플레이를 이용하여 만든 응용프로그램은 손을 사용함으로써 사용자에게 직관적인 인터페이스를 제공한다. 따라서 사용자는 테이블 탑 디스플레이에서 보여 지는 가상화면에서 실제 물체를 조정하는 듯한 현실감올 느낄 수 있다. 그러나 대부분의 테이블 탑 디스플레이 응용 증강현실 시스템은 시각적인 감각만을 충족시킨다는 제한사항을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 보다 현실감 있는 증강현실을 제공하기 위해 가상 객체에 충돌이 발생할 경우 객체 컨트롤 장치가 진통하게 함으로써 촉각 부분도 지원하는 다중 감각기반 인터페이스를 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 에어하키 응용 구현을 통해 시각 및 청각적인 증강현실과 연동하여 가상환경의 충돌 정보를 무선통신으로 전송함으로써 촉각적인 증강현실을 반영함을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 시각지원과 함께 촉각지원을 추가함으로써 증강현실의 현실감을 증대시키고, 손 이외의 다른 장치를 사용하여 테이블 탑 디스플레이의 사용 환경을 확장시켜 보다 실감나는 인터페이스 환경을 제공한다.

Background: Several studies have indicated that a nerve injury enhances the expression of the voltage-gated calcium channel ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$ subunit (Cav ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$) in sensory neurons and the dorsal spinal cord. This study examined whether NMDA receptor activation is essential for Cav ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$-mediated tactile allodynia in Cav ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$ overexpressing transgenic mice and L5/6 spinal nerve ligated rats (SNL). These two models show similar Cav ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$ upregulation and behavioral hypersensitivity, without and with the presence of other injury factors, respectively. Methods: The transgenic (TG) mice were generated as described elsewhere (Feng et al., 2000). The left L5/6 spinal nerves in the Harlan Sprague Dawley rats were ligated tightly (SNL) to induce neuropathic pain, as described by Kim et al. (1992). Memantine 2 mg/kg (10 ul) was injected directly into the L5/6 spinal region followed by $10{\mu}l$ saline. Tactile allodynia was tested for any mechanical hypersensitivity. Results: The tactile allodynia in the SNL rats could be reversed by an intrathecal injection of memantine 2 mg/kg at 1.5 hours. The tactile allodynia in the Cav ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$ over-expressing TG mice could be reversed by an intrathecal injection of memantine 2 mg/kg at 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 hours. Conclusions: The behavioral hypersensitivity was similar in the TG mice and nerve injury pain model, supporting the hypothesis that elevated Cav ${\alpha}2{\delta}1$ mediates similar pathways that underlie the pain states in both models. The selective activation of spinal NMDA receptors plays a key role in mediating the pain states in both the nerve-injury rats and TG mice.

본 논문에서는 증강현실 응용으로 진동촉각 햅틱 마우스를 이용하여 버블 포핑을 구현하는 버블포핑 증강현실 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템에서는 가상 그래픽 버블이 3차원 공간에서 랜덤하게 떠다닌다. 사용자의 진동촉각마우스가 버블과 접촉하면 버블이 터지는 포핑이 발생한다. 또한 포핑 효과와 더불어, 마우스가 진동을 함으로써 마우스를 잡고 있는 사용자의 손에 보다 실감나는 버블포핑을 전달한다. 제안 시스템은 진동촉각마우스, 비디오 입력용 웹캠, 마커 패턴 영상, 그래픽 구 버블 객체, 그래픽 마우스 등으로 구성된다. 버블과의 충돌이 발생하게 되면, 마우스 진동과 버블 포핑의 두가지 효과를 동시에 제공한다. 버블포핑 이벤트로 페이드 아웃 및 발산 이드 아웃 기법을 제안한다. 따라서 시각 및 촉각 버블 포핑은 단일 효과보다 실감있는 증강현실을 전달한다.
