Haptics for Tele-Communication and Tele-Training
This special issue belongs to the section “Mechanical Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Services based on virtual reality environments and tele-conference systems are rapidly becoming popular. For these services, technologies to support tele-communication are essential. Tele-communication is expected to be used not only for games, entertainment, and business meetings, but also for remote system operation, remote surgery, tele-therapy, remote exercise, and remote rehabilitation. However, compared to visual and auditory information, the use of haptic information in tele-communication and tele-training has lagged behind, and breakthrough research is needed. This Special Issue invites papers on haptics, with a focus on the understanding of haptic sensation, sensing, actuation, information processing, and its application to tele-communication and tele-training.
