Bernard, Corentin (author), Ystad, Sølvi (author), Monnoyer, Jocelyn (author), Wiertlewski, M. (author)Modulation of the frictional force of a fingertip sliding over a surface-haptic device can produce compelling sensations of texture and relief. The virtual sensation is particularly apparent and feel as fixed in space if the stimulus is rigorously correlated with the displacement of the finger. While frictional textures tactually resemble...journal article 2020

Li, S. (author), de Wagter, C. (author), de Croon, G.C.H.E. (author)Autonomous robots heavily rely on well-tuned state estimation filters for successful control. This letter presents a novel automatic tuning strategy for learning filter parameters by minimizing the innovation, i.e., the discrepancy between expected and received signals from all sensors. The optimization process only requires the inputs and...journal article 2019

Huijts, N.M.A. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Molin, E.J.E. (author)Public acceptability of low-carbon energy projects is often measured with one-off polls. This implies that opinion-shifts over time are not always taken into consideration by decision makers relying on these polls. Observations have given the impression that public acceptability of energy projects increases after implementation. However, this...journal article 2019

Di Cicco, F. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author)To understand the key image features that we use to infer the glossiness of materials, we analyzed the pictorial shortcuts used by 17th century painters to imitate the optical phenomenon of specular reflections when depicting grapes. Gloss perception of painted grapes was determined via a rating experiment. We computed the contrast, blurriness,...journal article 2019

Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Xiao, Bei (author), Volcic, Robert (author)Although product photos and movies are abundantly present in online shopping environments, little is known about how much of the real product experience they capture. While previous studies have shown that movies or interactive imagery give users the impression that these communication forms are more effective, there are no studies addressing...journal article 2019

Fu, W. (author), van Paassen, M.M. (author), Abbink, D.A. (author), Mulder, Max (author)Time delays in haptic teleoperation affect the ability of human operators to assess mechanical properties (damping, mass, and stiffness) of the remote environment. To address this, we propose a unified framework for human haptic perception of the mechanical properties of environments with delayed force feedback. In a first experiment, we...journal article 2019

Cleij, D. (author), Venrooij, J. (author), Pretto, Paolo (author), Pool, D.M. (author), Mulder, Max (author), Bulthoff, Heinrich H. (author)Motion cueing algorithms are used in motion simulation to map the inertial vehicle motion onto the limited simulator motion space. This mapping causes mismatches between the unrestricted visual motion and the constrained inertial motion, which results in perceived motion incongruence (PMI). It is still largely unknown what exactly causes...journal article 2018
