Summary:In order to show how technological innovation and scientific innovation are linked in the course of research in human science, I present an account of a series of innovations made in our laboratory (Distal Glove – Tactos system – Intertact server – Dialtact module). We will see how research on the technical constitution of cognitive and perceptual activities can be associated with a process of innovation. The technical devices present at each stage carry an interpretative framework that prepares the following stages. Devices which were initially developed for the purposes of performing experiments contributed both to scientific inventions and to developments with a practical and social finality. Para mostrar cómo la innovación tecnológica y la innovación científica están vinculadas en el proceso de investigación en la ciencia humana, presento una aproximación de una serie de innovaciones realizadas en nuestro laboratorio (Distal Glove-Tactos system-Intertact server-Dialtact module). Veremos cómo la investigación sobre la constitución técnica de las actividades perceptivas y cognitivas puede asociarse con un proceso de innovación. Los dispositivos técnicos presentes en cada estadio comportan un marco interpretativo que prepara los siguientes estadios. Los dispositivos que fueron inicialmente desarrollados con propósitos de realización de experimentos contribuyeron tanto a invenciones científicas como a desarrollos con una finalidad práctica y social.
