The sensitivity of operator's finger against electrical stimulus pulse is considered. It is found that frequency, duty ratio, and voltage amplitude of electrical stimulus pulse determine the sensitivity of finger. The effects of materials, sizes, arrangements and shapes of electrodes on sensitivity of finger are analyzed. Finally, the tactile tele presence system is designed to experimentally confirm that the robot with electrotactile feedback glove can manipulate dexterous robotic multi fingered hand and identify and classify three sorts of objects.展开更多

Among these technologies, this paper introduces the 400 km-h-1 class current collection performance evaluation methods that have been developed and demonstrated by Korea. Specifically, this paper reports details of the video-based monitoring techniques that have been adopted to inspect the stability of overhead contact line （OCL） components at 400 km.h-1 without direct contact with any components of the power supply system. Unlike conventional OCL monitoring systems, which detect contact wire positions using either laser sensors or line cameras, the developed system measures parameters in the active state by video data. According to experimental results that were obtained at a field-test site established at a commercial line, it is claimed that the proposed mea- surement system is capable of effectively measuring OCL parameters.展开更多
