This article presents the design of a new tactile stimulator which is able to make a user feeling the sensation that he's touching a programmable textured surface. In a first section, the principle of the interaction between the device and the finger is presented. Then, we describe the design of the stimulator which is made up with a layer of piezo-ceramic bonded on a copper plate. Finely, we show the control electronic. Experimental runs are presented.
