Abstract
A haptic communication system includes a broadband signal generator to extract parameters from sensor signals describing a message for transmission to a user. Broadband carrier signals are generated by aggregating a plurality of frequency components. Actuator signals are generated by encoding the parameters from the sensor signals into the broadband carrier signals. One or more cutaneous actuators are communicatively coupled to the broadband signal generator to receive the actuator signals. Haptic vibrations are generated corresponding to the actuator signals on a body of the user to communicate the message to the user.
