FIG. 16I is a perspective view of a cylindrical end effector, in accordance with an embodiment. The cylindrical end effector shown in FIG. 16I has a cylindrical tip 1648 positioned on top of the disc 1650. The end 1638 on top of the cylindrical tip 1648 contacts the body 1618 of the user to transmit the haptic vibrations 1616 from the cutaneous actuator 1602 to the body 1618. The disc 1650 is positioned on top of the base 1652. The tip 1648, disc 1650, and base 1652 may be a single piece or three different pieces attached together to make the end effector. The end 1642 at the bottom of the base 1652 is mounted on the cutaneous actuator 1602 as shown in FIG. 16G. The end 1638 is smaller in surface area than the end 1642 to increase pressure on the body 1618 of the user. A benefit of the cylindrical end effector is that it extends the space between actuator 1602 and skin for packaging and mounting.
