Objective: The present study aimed to explore the effects of various tactile takeover requests (TORs) (i.e., tactile sliding TOR and traditional vibration TOR) on the takeover performance in an automated driving system.
Methods: A tactile sliding motor device was developed to signal the sliding TOR on the seatback of a driving simulator. Twenty-five young drivers were recruited as participants. Four types of TOR patterns were adopted in the study: ipsilateral motor rotation (IR), contralateral motor rotation (CR), ipsilateral and contralateral motor rotation (ICR), and ipsilateral motor vibration (IV). The participants were required to sit on the seat and underwent the automated driving in a low- or high-complexity scenario, then one of the four types of TORs was triggered randomly. The participants were asked to make a lane change using the steering wheel as soon as possible. Objective measures and subjective evaluations were used to assess the takeover performance.
Results: Results showed that the participants exhibited a shorter steering response time and lane change time under the three tactile sliding TORs (compared to the traditional vibration TOR). In the high-complexity scenarios and low-complexity scenarios conditions, different result patterns appeared regarding the maximum lateral acceleration and situational awareness.
Conclusion: Our findings suggested that the tactile sliding motor is a promising way to signal a TOR in an automated driving system.

Tactile sensing is currently a research hotspot in the fields of intelligent perception and robotics. The method of converting external stimuli into electrical signals for sensing is a very effective strategy. Herein, we proposed a self-powered, flexible, transparent tactile sensor integrating sliding and proximity sensing (SFTTS).

Electronic skin is widely employed in multiple applications such as health monitoring, robot tactile perception, and bionic prosthetics. In this study, we fabricated millimeter-scale electronic skin featuring compact sensing units using the Boston Micro Fabrication S130 (a high-precision additive manufacturing device) and the template removal method. We used a gallium-based liquid metal and achieved an inner channel diameter of 0.

Robotic devices with integrated tactile sensors can accurately perceive the contact force, pressure, sliding, and other tactile information, and they have been widely used in various fields, including human-robot interaction, dexterous manipulation, and object recognition. To address the challenges associated with the initial value drift, and to improve the durability and accuracy of the tactile detection for a robotic dexterous hand, in this study, a flexible tactile sensor is designed with high repeatability by introducing a supporting layer for pre-separation. The proposed tactile sensor has a detection range of 0-5 N with a resolution of 0.

Feeling a texture typically involves sliding the fingers of a hand across that surface or rubbing the surface between the thumb and another digit. Texture signals appear to be integrated across the digits of a hand with perceived roughness at one finger swayed in the direction of texture touched by another finger of the same hand. To date, one study has reported similar integrative effects when the pairs of digits belong to different hands.

High-performance flexible tactile sensors have attracted significant attention in the domains of human-machine interactions. However, the efficient fabrication of sensors with highly sensitive responses over a broad load range still remains a challenge. Here, we propose a one-step laser writing route to construct a distinctive multilevel piezoresistive structure, consisting of Cu nanoparticle-doped graphene protrusions and surrounding porous Cu sheets.
