Abstract;In order to display delicate touch feeling of surface of some materials, active touch of human hand movements should be considered. In this paper, a wearable stimulation device which can produce various distributed stimuli on human skin in response to hand movements was developed using ICPF actuators. This study proposed a stimulation method which generates selective stimuli to sense receptors in accordance with velocities and accelerations of hand motions based on characteristics of human reception of touch. It was confirmed experimentally that some kinds of pattern of driving waves express touch feelings such as starting, stopping and sliding feel of hand motions. (author abst.)
