This study introduces FlexHapComm, a wearable electronic-skin interface for realistic human-machine interaction. This flexible haptic communication system offers programmable feedback and real-time bidirectional tactile signals.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Wearable Technology
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Haptic feedback enhances realism and immersion in human-machine interaction.
  • Bidirectional communication is key for advanced tactile experiences.
