| Summary: | One of the capability of a prosthetic hand device that
is highly preferred is that it should be able to mimic the
functionality of the lost arm, and that loss includes the tactile
sensory system. A miniature DC motor has been identified to be
the best haptic actuator to deliver the required sensory feedback.
Experiments and simulations were carried out to predict the
transient responses, driving frequencies as well as vibration
amplitude of the motor. The results have shown that the motor is
reliable in matching the optimum frequency response of the
mechanoreceptors in the residual arm, which is important in
providing an efficient supplementary sensation. |
