In this course, students will delve into the intricate world of Haptics—the science of touch. We'll demystify the underlying principles behind haptic and tactile sensations, spotlighting its transformative role across domains, from immersive virtual reality experiences to groundbreaking medical training. By the end, participants will gain a holistic understanding of haptic feedback systems, encompassing foundational concepts, real-world applications, and a glimpse into the future of tactile technology.
This book covers all topics relevant for the design of haptic interfaces and teleoperation systems. The book provides the basic knowledge required for understanding more complex approaches and more importantly it introduces all issues that must be considered for designing efficient and safe haptic interfaces. Topics covered in this book provide insight into all relevant components of a haptic system.
Active touch perception, or haptic perception, is of primary importance for the planning, direction and execution of everyday actions. This complex human sensory system is gaining ever more importance for various scientific disciplines as well as practical industrial applications. An international team of 80 authors presents a comprehensive collection of writings on both aspects of research on human haptic perception.
