Abstract(in English) Most haptic devices have a common issue of large hardware setup, because they must present actual force. To cope with this issue, we have proposed a method to present force sensation using tendon electrical stimulation. In this paper, we investigated whether it is possible to present force sensation by giving an electrical stimulus through the skin surface of a wrist. We also investigated relationship between the amount of sensation and stimulation parameters. As a result, we found that the force sensation can be generated by the electrical stimulation to the wrist, the direction of the force sensation is opposite to the motion occurred by muscle electrical stimulation, and it is possible to control the amount of the sensation by pulse frequency.
