Title
A Tactile Shape Display Using RC Servomotors
Abstract
Tactile displays are used to convey small-scale force and shape information to the tip of the finger. In this paper, we present a 6x6 tactile shape display that uses commercial RC servomotors to actuate an array of mechanical pins. The display has a maximum pin deflection of 2 mm along with a resolution of 4 bits. Pin spacing is 2 mm with a pin diameter of 1 mm. The display can accurately represent frequencies up to 25 Hz for small amplitudes and is slew rate limited at 38 mm/sec for larger amplitudes.
