Abstract
In our previous papers, we proposed a new haptic interface that detects electromyography (EMG) on a forearm. EMG sensors were arranged onto a flexible and stretchable sheet. The sheet we used here was the "Two Dimensional Communication (2DC) sheet" that enables the sensors touching it to communicate with each other without any wires. Electrical power can also be supplied through the sheet. Thus we can easily arrange the sensors densely onto the sheet for obtaining two dimensional EMG signal patterns. They are supposed to be useful for estimation of fingers or wrist motions. In this paper, we show an effective connector for the 2DC sheet. We demonstrate simulation and experimental results.
