Abstract
A fully 3-D printed, soft, monolithic 4-DoF fingertip haptic technology is provided, called FingerPrint, that stimulates linear and rotational shear, pressure, and vibration on the finger pad. Constructed using an origami waterbomb base mechanism and printed from a flexible material, the device embeds four sets of eight foldable vacuum-powered pneumatic actuators to achieve three translational (x, y, z) and one rotational (torsion) tactile motions and forces of a tactor end-effector on the finger pad skin.
