Abstract

In this paper we present HapticPalm, a wearable device based on a 3-DoF parallel robotic structure, that can be used in different applications, from rendering haptic perception to rehabilitation of specific hand pathologies. The paper focuses in particular on the design of the contact interfaces between the device end effector and the palm, that have to simulate the interaction with different surfaces.
