Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the ways to make the human body feel tactile mainly include electrical stimulation and mechanical stimulation. Among them, the former stimulates the skin through electric current pulses to stimulate nerve sensory fibers to generate somatosensory stimulation. The type is limited and uncontrollable; the latter stimulates the skin through electric or magnetic vibration, etc., and its tactile sensation is limited to vibration, and the tactile sensation of vibration is not delicate enough, and the tactile sensation that can be simulated is also very limited

specific Embodiment

[0030] At present, the somatosensory tactile devices on the market mainly act on the tactile stimulation of the human body from the outside. The external stimuli here are mainly divided into two types, one is electrical stimulation, and the other is mechanical stimulation (tactile somatosensory stimulation). The former refers to the use of current pulses to stimulate the skin to stimulate nerve sensory fibers to generate somatosensory stimulation. This method generally requires high equipment performance, expensive, complicated devices, low operational safety, and uncontrollable tactile sensation. types are limited. Tactile stimulation is to stimulate the skin (finger) through electric or magnetic vibration, etc. This method is relatively safe, does not require a complete set of professional equipment, and has a higher degree of acceptance and promotion.

[0061] refer to Figure 6 , which is a method flowchart of a somatosensory haptic control method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention, wherein the somatosensory haptic control method includes:

[0062] Step S200, the controller sends an actuation instruction to the IPMC structure in the IPMC elastic layer;

[0063] Step S300, the IPMC structure is deformed according to the actuation command, and drives the IPMC elastic layer and the strain elastic layer to deform;

[0064] Step S400, the strain gauges in the strain elastic layer acquire pressure data when the strain elastic layer is deformed;

[0065] Step S500, the controller adjusts the actuation command according to the pressure data and expected pressure data.

[0066] Specifically, in step S200, the controller and the IPMC structure in the IPMC elastic layer issue an actuation instruction, the actuation instruction refers to an instruction that can cause the IPMC structure to generate motion, and t...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent equipment, and in particular relates to a somatosensory tactile device. Background technique [0002] Touch is one of the important senses for human beings to communicate with the external environment. Somatosensory tactile devices are designed to help humans or robots feel the reality of touching objects. For example, in a VR scene, the experiencer can use the visual experience to experience the interaction of virtual reality, but the user lacks a sense of immersion. The somatosensory haptic device can help the experiencer to generate a corresponding tactile feeling when touching the virtual object, increasing the sense of immersion in the experience. [0003] At present, the ways to make the human body feel tactile mainly include electrical stimulation and mechanical stimulation. Among them, the former stimulates the skin through electric current pulses to stimulate nerve sensory fibers to ...
