Vibrotactile Feedback for a Remote Operated Robot with Noise Subtraction Based on Perceived Intensity

There is a growing demand for teleoperated robots. This paper presents a novel method for reducing vibration noise generated by robot's own motion, which can disrupt the quality of tactile feedback for teleoperated robots. Our approach focuses on perceived intensity, the amount of how humans experience vibration, to create a noise filter that aligns with human perceptual characteristics. This system effectively subtracts ego-noise while preserving the essential tactile signals, ensuring more accurate and reliable haptic feedback for operators. This method offers a refined solution to the challenge of maintaining high-quality tactile feedback in teleoperated systems.
