Scientists have a kunsthuid developed that is capable of electrical pulses that ensure that the user touch is simulated. Ultimately, this special gloves are made.
The kunsthuid with electric massagers is made of pieces of silicon and gouddraden to electricity continue to conduct. The whole is held together by a flexible polymer. Although it is not the first time that there is with electricity attacks to be simulated, the flexible design scientists are able to make a kunsthuid of to build.
Users must have the tastsimulator at their fingertips, but ultimately with this technology full gloves are made. That should be the practical applications of affect-simulation increase: currently, such simulation is mainly used for braille readers. It would also be possible to touch-type elsewhere on the body.
The scientists say that their technology for virtual touch for several practical cases can be used. Surgeons may, for example, with a simulation program to be trained, where they have the idea of actually having a patient to be busy. Also, virtual probes can be used for games. The scientists claim that the kunsthuid can be used in people who have their natural touch-sensors are lost, but it is unclear how probes with electrical pulses must be generated.
With the kunsthuid to be able to remotely captured or simulated signals to be converted into physical feelings. Colombian scientists have recently the opposite is achieved: they have connected a robot that is designed for the bomontmanteling to human muscle movements. By human movements as input to use, and this copy must be sensitive duties are carried out better by robots.
