Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Taxels (HAXELs) for Full Body Haptics

Herbert Shea, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The ability to mechanically stimulate touch receptors over the entire body is a key feature for fully immersive and highly realistic virtual reality experience. Haptic stickers, flexible arrays of HAXELs (hydraulically amplified TAXels), that enable cutane ...

Dynamic control of high-voltage actuator arrays by light-pattern projection on photoconductive switches

Herbert Shea, Amir Firouzeh, Vesna Bacheva, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy, Aiste Balciunaite

The ability to control high-voltage actuator arrays relies, to date, on expensive microelectronic processes or on individual wiring of each actuator to a single off-chip high-voltage switch. Here we present an alternative approach that uses on-chip photoco ...

Photoconductive Switching Of A High-Voltage Actuator Array

Herbert Shea, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

We present a method to control individual high-voltage actuators in an array using microfabricated photoconductive switches and a light projection system, thus overcoming the challenges of on-chip control at high voltages. Such switching capabilities go be ...

Hydraulically amplified dielectric actuator taxels

Herbert Shea, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy, Min Gao

A dielectric actuator including an enclosure forming a cavity having a dielectric fluid therein, the enclosure having a base, a flexible membrane and a reversibly-stretchable membrane, and a pair of electrodes, one electrode of the pair of electrodes arran ...

Multimode Hydraulically Amplified Electrostatic Actuators for Wearable Haptics

Herbert Shea, Ronan Julien Hinchet, Edouard Franck Vincent Gustave Leroy

The sense of touch is underused in today’s virtual reality systems due to lack of wearable, soft, mm-scale transducers to generate dynamic mechanical stimulus on the skin. Extremely thin actuators combining both high force and large displacement are a long ...
