SENSE-ROID TYPE-S：人工筋ニットと空気圧バルーンを用いた触覚記録再生ウェア

抄録

We propose "SENSE-ROID TYPE-S", the system using two types of wearable devices, one for haptic playback and the other for haptic recording. The haptic playback wear is made with fabric braided of 60 thin artificial muscles, and it can present a wide range of haptic stimulus to the upper body. The haptic recording wear consists of 38 air-filled sensing balloons with force sensing functionality and can detect the force and position of pressure applied to the same body area. Since these two components do not include mechanical parts, we can benefit from the merits of softness, ease of installation, and reduction of weight, resolving key problems of recent wearable haptic devices.
