Laboratory for Human and Machine Haptics

Haptics refers to sensing and manipulation through touch. Although the term was initially used by psychologists for studies on active touch by humans, we have broadened its meaning to include humans and/or Machines in real, virtual or teleoperated environments. The goals of research conducted in the Touch Lab are to understand human haptics, develop machine haptics, and enhance human-machine interactions in virtual environments and teleoperation. Human Haptics is the study of how people sense and manipulate the world through touch. Machine Haptics is the complimentary study of machines, including the development of technology to mediate haptic communication between humans and computers as illustrated in the figure.
