Abstract in brief

  • The text describes the development of ultrathin, flexible hydraulically amplified electrostatic actuators designed for wearable haptic devices, capable of producing both normal and shear forces to simulate touch sensations on the skin.
  • These actuators, weighing only 90 mg, can generate significant forces (over 300 mN) and diverse motions (out-of-plane, in-plane, lateral), with fast response times below 5 ms, making them suitable for realistic tactile feedback.
  • Human testing showed high accuracy (over 80%) in distinguishing different force types using these actuators, and a 5x5 array was integrated into a haptic sleeve, demonstrating their potential for immersive virtual reality experiences.]
