Designing a Fingertip Haptic Device
This video shows the first fingertip haptic device created in the CHARM Lab, which used an electromagnetic actuation system to apply forces on the finger.
Project Overview
In my project, I worked together with postdoc Zhenish[bek] Zhakypov and Allison Okamura on creating a fingertip haptic device that can model a sense of touch for virtual objects. The main goal was to create a fully 3-D printed, compact design that would be more cost efficient.
