ペルチェ素子による物体接触時の温度感覚の生成

抄録

The purpose of this research is reproduction of thermal sensation when touching an object. It is said that a human thermal sensation when touching an object is perceived within a few seconds immediately after the contact. In order to reproduce the human thermal sensation, it is necessary to reproduce the transient heat transfer that occurs immediately after contact with an object. In this paper, we constructed thermal sensation reproduction device that reproduces skin temperature changes based on the measured skin temperature when touching an object using a Peltier device. Using the device, it was possible to reproduce the thermal sensation when touching an object with different thermal characteristics. On the other hand, to reproduce the thermal sensation after touching an object, it was necessary to speed up temperature response of the Peltier device. Therefore, Therefore, we investigated the parameters that affect the speed of Peltier device temperature control. As a result, the speeding up of the temperature control of the Peltier device is affected by the magnitude of the driving current.
