Within this paper we deal with the design and control of flat
EM actuators by considering thermal, fabrication and control limitations; we
propose a sensing and control method for the actuator and we evaluate its power
consumption for specific tasks.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">FOLDAWAY, aims to develop ultra-portable and low cost origami haptic
interfaces. Such devices allow the user to experience an advanced level of
interaction that is based on the sense of touch. The first prototype has three
degrees of freedom and can interact with human fingers by tracking their motion
and providing force, stiffness and texture perception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Through its unique origami manufacturing, it is the first haptic interface
that folds-away when not in use. Its palm size, and thin design, makes it the
ideal user interface for any portable device. One of the enabling technologies
behind this innovative interface is a layer by layer origami manufacturing
technique to produce complex 3D mechanisms that can be folded collapsing into a
plane. The manufacturing of these structures is cost competitive, scalable and
does not require manual assembly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
