Nowadays, the haptic effect is used and developed for many applicationsââ?¬â?particularly\nin the automotive industry, where the mechanical feedback induced by a haptic system enables the\nuser to receive information while their attention is kept on the road and on driving. This article\npresents the development of a vibrotactile button based on printed piezoelectric polymer actuation.\nFirstly, the characterization of the electro-active polymer used as the actuator and the development\nof a model able to predict the electromechanical behavior of this device are summarized. Then,\nthe design of circular membranes and their dynamic characterization are presented. Finally, this work\nis concluded with the construction of a fully functional demonstrator, integrating haptic buttons\nleading to a clear haptic sensation for the user.
