A Haptic Sleeve with Pneumatic Actuators for Force Feedback

Haptiknit is a knitted sleeve with an integrated array of pneumatic actuators for programmable haptic display on the body. By creating high and low stiffness machine-knit layers, the haptic sleeve is able to transmit forces beyond 40N with a bandwidth of 14.5Hz.
