One Surface Changes Both Warmth and Softness
A particle-jamming and water-transfer prototype independently modulates stiffness and temperature for tactile displays.
Summary
A particle-jamming and water-transfer prototype independently modulates stiffness and temperature for tactile displays.
Mechanical tests show a controllable 300 percent stiffness increase. Thermal characterization spans 10 to 50 degrees Celsius, with closed-loop control maintaining a 0.2-degree error from its setpoint. The prototype is a research display for perceptual work, medical simulation and affective haptics; the paper does not establish durability, wearability or clinical performance.
