Science Behind Tukii
A closer look at tactile visual sensory substitution (TVSS), haptic robotics, and the thesis work validating Tukii in inclusive classrooms.
The science behind Tukii
Engineer John Trujillo’s thesis explores the design and implementation of a cartesian robot capable of drawing tactile patterns on skin, validating its effectiveness as an inclusive educational resource.
- Portable interactive robot
- Haptic stimulation and sensory substitution
- Mobile accessibility through a companion app
- Field validation with DECSEDIV students
The thesis details the cartesian robot design, haptic calibration, and validation protocols with students.
