大多数触觉设备都有一个共同的问题，即需要一个大型的硬件设置，因为它们必须提供实际的力。为了科普这个问题，我们提出了一种方法，目前力的感觉，使用肌腱电刺激。在本文中，我们研究了是否有可能提出力的感觉，电刺激肌腱通过皮肤表面在手腕。我们还研究了感觉量和刺激参数之间的关系。我们发现，力的感觉可以通过对手腕的电刺激而产生，并且力的感觉的方向与肌肉电刺激引起的运动相反。我们还发现，可以通过改变脉冲高度和脉冲频率来控制感觉的量。
Most haptic devices have the common problem of requiring a large hardware setup, because they must present actual force. To cope with this issue, we have proposed a method to present force sensation using tendon electrical stimulation. In this paper, we investigated whether it is possible to present force sensation by electrically stimulating the tendon through the skin surface at the wrist. We also investigated the relationship between the amount of sensation and the stimulation parameters. We found that a force sensation can be generated by electrical stimulation to the wrist, and the direction of the force sensation is opposite to the motion elicited by muscle electrical stimulation. We also found that it is possible to control the amount of the sensation by varying both pulse height and pulse frequency.
