  2. Haptic technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology

    Haptic technology (also kinaesthetic communication or 3D touch) [1] [2] is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. [3] These technologies can be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation , to control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines and ...

  3. Haptic perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_perception

    Haptic perception (Greek: haptόs "palpable", haptikόs "suitable for touch") means literally the ability "to grasp something", and is also known as stereognosis. Perception in this case is achieved through the active exploration of surfaces and objects by a moving subject, as opposed to passive contact by a static subject during tactile perception. [1]

  4. Perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception

    The process of recognizing objects through touch is known as haptic perception. It involves a combination of somatosensory perception of patterns on the skin surface (e.g., edges, curvature, and texture) and proprioception of hand position and conformation. People can rapidly and accurately identify three-dimensional objects by touch. [22]

  5. Robotic sensors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_sensors

    Complex Vision: Recognizing objects. Proximity: Non-contact detection of an object. Sensors can measure physical properties, such as the distance between objects, the presence of light and the frequency of sound. [3] They can measure: Object Proximity: The presence/absence of an object, bearing, color, distance between objects. Physical ...

  6. Motion controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_controller

    In computing, a motion controller is a type of input device that uses accelerometers, gyroscopes, cameras, or other sensors to track motion. Motion controllers see use as game controllers, for virtual reality and other simulation purposes, and as pointing devices for smart TVs and Personal computers.

  9. Tactile sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactile_sensor

    A tactile sensor is a device that measures information arising from physical interaction with its environment. Tactile sensors are generally modeled after the biological sense of cutaneous touch which is capable of detecting stimuli resulting from mechanical stimulation, temperature, and pain (although pain sensing is not common in artificial ...
