Haptic Robotic Arm

Haptics is the science of applying touch sensation and control for interaction with virtual or physical applications. In combination with a visual display, haptics technology can be used to train people for tasks requiring hand-eye coordination, such as Robotic Tele Surgery and Spaceship maneuvering. It can also be used for games in which you feel as well as see your interactions with images.The Dextrous Hand (from the NASA’s collection of Humanoids) has haptic sensors embedded in every joint and in every finger pad which relay information to a central computer for processing and analysis.

In this workshop we train the students to control a Robotic Arm using Haptics Technology (Haptic Glove).
