Popis: This paper presents a novel lightweight and simple TSA-based (twisted string actuation) wearable haptic glove (ExoTen-Glove). This system is using two independent twisted string actuators with integrated force sensors and small-size DC motors. The proposed system can provide users force feedback during the execution of grasping virtual objects. The design of the TSA-based ExoTen-Glove, description of the TSA system, the controller and the preliminary experimental evaluation of the proposed system has been presented in this paper. This device has been evaluated by an experiment in virtual reality environment using HTC VIVE headset with 2 degrees of freedom grasping tasks, where the participants were squeezing a real spring with their thumb and index finger and compare it with a virtual spring stiffness. The results prove the applicability of the ExoTen-Glove for rehabilitation and haptic purposes. ispartof: pages:320-327 ispartof: IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) 2018 pages:320-327 ispartof: IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN) location:Jiangsu Conference Center, Nanjing, China date:27 Aug - 31 Aug 2018 status: Published online
