Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring bending of an object, a position of an item touching the object, and a shearing force of the item using an optical waveguide may include a frequency measurer to measure a frequency of light reflected from a grating of an optical waveguide, and a bending measurer to determine bending of an object to which the optical waveguide is attached using the frequency.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) tactile feedback apparatus and method for implementing the same may include a tactile feedback providing unit which provides a 3D tactile feedback, in response to a motion input by a user, a position measuring unit which measures a position of the tactile feedback providing unit, and a movement controlling unit which controls a movement of the tactile feedback providing unit based on the position of the tactile feedback providing unit.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring a tactile information, using a material having variable pressure dependent properties is disclosed. The apparatus for measuring the tactile information may include a plurality of pressure measurement units to measure a magnitude of an external pressure using a material having variable properties, and a tactile information measurement unit to measure a three-dimensional (3D) tactile information based on the external pressure using a location of the plurality of pressure measurement units and a pressure measured by the plurality of pressure measurement units.
Abstract:
A tactile sensation providing apparatus includes a tactile output unit configured to contact a part of a human body; a connection unit including a wire connected to the tactile output unit and made of a flexible and elastic material, and a tube enclosing the wire; and a driving unit to supply a driving force to the connection unit.
Abstract:
A method of displaying a menu based on at least one of a depth information and a space gesture is provided. The method including determining depth information corresponding to a distance from a screen of a user terminal to a hand of a user; identifying at least one layer among a plurality of layers based on the depth information; and applying a graphic effect to the identified layer so that a menu page corresponding to the at least one identified layer is displayed on the screen of the user terminal.
Abstract:
An interfacing apparatus may sense an input object and move at least one interface object displayed on a display toward the sensed input object.
Abstract:
An apparatus for recognizing a proximity motion using sensors may include a first sensor to sense a first input region, a second sensor to sense a second input region distinct from the first input region, and an information transfer controller to transfer information related to a transition, between the first sensor and the second sensor.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a user interface using a gaze interaction is disclosed. The method for the user interface using the gaze interaction may include obtaining an image including eyes of a user, estimating a gaze position of the user, using the image including the eyes of the user, and determining whether to activate a gaze adjustment function for controlling a device by a gaze of the user, based on the gaze position of the user with respect to at least one toggle area on a display.
Abstract:
A remote control robot system includes a surgical robot having a surgical tool which is used to perform minimally invasive surgery. The surgical tool includes a detection member having a plurality of detection parts, a support member, and an optical fiber disposed between the detection member and support member. A magnitude of force and a distribution of the force may be measured by individually disposing a plurality of optical fiber bragg gratings (FBGs) below the plurality of detection parts, respectively. Accordingly, the surgical robot or the remote control robot system may provide a more precise control function and a hand-touch diagnosis function.
