[INP2-1(Invited)] Displaying Tactile Sensation Using SMA Actuators and Sensors
Shape-memory Alloy, Micro-vibration, Tactile display, Force sensing
A filiform SMA wire with the diameter of several tens micrometers presents unique characteristics swiftly responding to temperature. The expansion and contraction of the SMA wire can be precisely controlled by applying pulse current. The authors have applied the unique characteristics to novel tactile displays that react to hand actions.
