Cover Story: The HJ-Haptic, a wearable haptic device, utilizes a honeycomb jamming mechanism to provide real-time kinesthetic feedback for bilateral teleoperation. Weighing only 20 g, the device dynamically adjusts stiffness (1.15–2.64 N/mm) using a vacuum pressure of 30 kPa. Its implementation in a stiffness-rendering teleoperation framework possibly enables operators to adjust grip force based on reliable feedback of remote object stiffness. Experiments, including three-point flexural tests and teleoperated object-grasping tasks, have demonstrated the device’s functionality and its potential to mimic the sensation of direct object manipulation with the hands. The results of this study highlight the possibility of using the honeycomb jamming mechanism to enhance haptic feedback in teleoperation and extended-reality applications. View this paper
