Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include creating a computer-generated model for a haptic feedback system including a plurality of actuators arranged in a first layer of the haptic feedback system, and a plurality of channels routed in a second layer of the haptic feedback system, the second layer being below the first layer, printing a three-dimensional wax mold structure of the computer-generated model, and forming the haptic feedback system in a single step using the three-dimensional wax mold structure. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: Haptic actuators may include a first active material coupled to a first side of an inactive substrate and a second active material coupled to a second side of the inactive substrate. The inactive substrate may be formed to initially exhibit a nonplanar shape when the first active material and the second active material are not actuated. Various other methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: A fluidic valve may include an inlet, a control port, an additional control port, an outlet, a fluid channel configured to convey fluid from the inlet to the outlet, and a piston that includes (1) a restricting gate transmission element configured to block, when the piston is in a first position, the fluid channel and unblock, when the piston is in a second position, the fluid channel, (2) a controlling gate transmission element configured to interface with a control pressure from the control port that forces the piston towards the first position when applied to the controlling gate transmission element, and (3) an additional controlling gate transmission element configured to interface with an additional control pressure from the additional control port that forces the piston towards the second position when applied to the additional controlling gate transmission element. Various other related devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A device configured to provide haptic feedback is disclosed. In one embodiment, at least two actuators, at distinct spatial locations, are coupled to a wearable structure configured to be worn on a portion of a user's body. The device is configured to, in response to receiving an indication from a communicatively coupled device, simultaneously actuate the at least two actuators using a first predetermined haptic signal, such that respective haptic responses generated by the at least two actuators are superimposed to generate a combined haptic response having a magnitude greater than the respective haptic responses generated by the at least two actuators.
