required theoretical and practical background to design and development
of
haptic systems. Haptic technology enables users to touch and/or
manipulate
virtual or remote objects in simulated environments or tele-operation
systems.
This course aims to cover the basics of haptics through lectures,
homework, lab
assignments, a term project, and readings on current topics in haptics.
Through
lab assignments, students learn to create haptic-enabled virtual
environments
using software development toolkits and a haptic device. Topics include
current
haptic technology and devices, the human haptic system, human haptic
perception
and psychophysics, and haptic rendering of virtual objects. Text
