Electrorheological Tactile Elements

  • The use of ultrasound systems for medical examination and diagnosis is nothing new. The extension of ultrasound techniques for real time elastographic analysis purposes represents a more recent development. Nevertheless, as they stand all such techniques rely on the interpretation of two-dimensional visual data displayed on a video screen. In reality however, a medical doctor will make as much use of exploratory touch as he or she does vision, making the simultaneous portrayal of both video and tactile information most desirable [Böse H, Monkman GJ, Freimuth H, Ermert H. Haptisches Sensor-Aktor-System uaf der grundlage der Echtzeitelastographie sowie von elktro- und magnetorheologischen Materialien “HASASEM” [3]. BMBF Antrag 01 IR A14D, Oktober 2000]. This paper discusses the preliminary tests and basic design parameters for single tactels using electrorheological fluids. The final aim is to produce a prototype three-dimensional tactile display comprising electrically switchable micro-machined cells whose mechanical moduli are governed by phase changes experienced by electrorheological fluids. This will be integrated with the latest elastographic ultrasonic sensor systems in order to present the human fingers with controllable surfaces capable of emulating biological tissue, muscle and bone.
