Utility
Systems and Methods for Particle Jamming Haptic Feedback
9 Dec 20
One illustrative system described herein includes at least one cell, a plurality of particles disposed in the at least one cell, a first actuator configured to change a pressure of the at least one cell, a valve configured to control the pressure of the at least one cell, and a processor communicatively coupled to the first actuator and the valve and configured to receive an activation signal, determine a pressure change value for the at least one cell based in part on the activation signal, transmit a first pressure change signal to the first actuator to cause the first actuator to alter a stiffness of the at least one cell based in part on the pressure change value, and transmit a second pressure change signal to the valve to cause the valve to alter the stiffness of the at least one cell based on the pressure change value.
