Abstract

We present tactile sensor figure information using modulated vibration produced from high band component f_H (from 40 to 1000Hz) and low band component f_L (from 2 to 40Hz). Vibration is modulated in 8 directions and we determine whether we could differentiate the direction in which it moves, focusing on presentation time, repetition presentation, and the interval between presentation stimuli. We found that presentation that repeats vibration continuously is most effective.
