Projektbeschreibung
Schulungsnetzwerk für haptische Technologie
Haptische Geräte haben verändert, wie Menschen mit virtuellen Umgebungen interagieren. In Bezug auf den Tastsinn bezieht sich Haptik auf die Technologie, die Benutzer mit einem Computersystem verbindet, indem Vibrationen, Bewegungen oder Kräfte angewendet werden. Im Rahmen des durch das Marie-Skłodowska-Curie-Programm finanzierten Projekts INTUITIVE wird eine neue Generation Forschende in diesem Bereich geschult. Nachwuchsforscher werden in praktischen Schulungsprojekten an neuartiger weicher biomorpher, taktiler Haut auf der Basis flexibler Elektronik und miniaturisierter weicher Sensoren und von der Haut inspirierter Speichergeräte arbeiten. Die neurowissenschaftliche Forschung und die rechnergestützte Modellierung werden das Verständnis verbessern, wie Roboter zahlreiche Interaktionsmodi nutzen könnten, um sich Kenntnisse über ihr haptisches Umfeld anzueignen. Sie werden die Entwicklung intuitiver und effizienter haptischer Displays für blinde Menschen ermöglichen.
Ziel
INTUITIVE will train a generation of early stage researcher (ESR) in ground breaking scientific and technological
approaches in haptics. They will develop novel soft biomorphic tactile skin based on flexible electronics, miniaturized soft
sensors, and a powerful new understanding of tactile information processing in humans - intrinsically shaped through the
interaction with the environment, and aimed to advance robotics and assistive technology. The technological novelties of this
project include touch sensor using materials such as graphene and new functionalities such as memory device in skin for
deeper understanding of skin biomechanics through artificial means. Neuroscience investigations and computational
modelling using predictive coding will explain how variable modes of interactions still lead to a stable representation of the
objects we interact with, and how robots could use these principles to acquire knowledge of their haptic environment. This
will also help developing intuitive and efficient haptic displays as an aid for the blind and prosthetics. Through participation in
this ITN and targeted courses, the ESR will acquire complementary expertise of neuroscience, haptics, flexible electronics,
microsensors, robotics and rehabilitation technology. This programme, proposed by 13 key academic, research institutes
and industry, will deliver 540 person-months of unparalleled multidisciplinary research training to 15 ESRs. The ESR will be
mentored by INTUITIVE PIs, who are pioneers in the neuroscience or/and technology of haptics and its applications. They
will have access to state-of-the-art equipment including unique devices designed by the PIs. Hands-on project training will be
supplemented with formal training courses in relevant fields and a variety of courses such as IPR, grant writing and
exploiting the scientific results. Mobility within the network targeted to each ESR will ensure exposure to both academic and
industrial environments.
