Overview: This course provides the 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. Grading: The overall grade for the course is calculated as follows: Exams 30% Project 40% Laboratory 30% 100% Exams:
There will be two exams. Homework:
There
will be several homework assignments throughout the term. The homework
problems
do not need to be turned in. Homework is fully the responsibility of
the
student. Homework sheets will become available on Blackboard as the
material is
covered in class. Project: The detail of the project will be provided later. Laboratory: The lab for the course is a combination of several labs. Academic Integrity: The Kettering University Code of Academic Integrity will be strictly enforced. |
