Abstract: The word haptics means “related to the sense of touch”. In
the psychology and neuroscience fields, haptics is the study of human
touch sensing, specifically via kinesthetic (force) and cutaneous
(tactile) receptors, associated with perception and manipulation. In
the robotics and virtual reality fields, haptics is broadly defined as
real and simulated touch interactions between robots, humans and real,
remote, or simulated environments, in various combinations. This talk
focuses on the use of specialized robotic devices and their
corresponding control, known as haptic interfaces, that allow human
operators to experience the sense of touch in simulated (virtual) and
remote (teleoperated) environments. We will discuss the design,
development, and experimental validation of haptic interfaces that can
be used to enhance human performance in applications ranging from
physics education to robot-assisted surgery.
