  • Patent number: 8299905
    Abstract: A system 1 for applying tactile stimulation to the controller of a remote vehicle. The system 1 includes one or more sensors 2 disposed on the remote vehicle and configured to measure a physical property of the remote vehicle and generate output data indicative thereof. A transmitter 3 is disposed in the remote vehicle and is in communication with the sensor(s) 2 to receive the output data where the transmitter 3 is configured to send the output data to the controller at a remote location. The system 1 further includes a tactile stimulator 4 configured to be placed in directly or indirectly in contact with a skin surface of the controller of the remote vehicle to whom an output of the tactile stimulation is to be provided. The tactile stimulator 4 is in communication with the output of the sensor 2 to deliver tactile stimulation corresponding to the magnitude of the sensed physical property.
