Abstract

In this study, we develop an event-based wearable haptic knob system that can be used in three-dimensional space. The first step involves building custom-built brakes and attaching them to a human forearm to achieve a wearable haptic knob. The display is built using a carbon-fiber frame. As our system is experiment-based, target torque curves are collected by a force sensor before using the torque representation. We confirm the effectiveness of our developed display through three operations, namely doorknob rotation, valve closing, and valve opening by the test subject. In the first step, the rotational axis was fixed on a table. These results are then used to develop the perfect wearable haptic system that includes a rotational axis in the display.
