Introduction to Haptic Technology Tactile feedback technology which recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibration, or motions to the user. [1] Haptic comes from the Greek (haptikos) Meaning pertaining to the sense of touch [2] Robot Dynamics needed: Size motors Create force sensations Geomatic PHANTOM Premium 1.5 Cost: ~$30K
Haptic Device Design Most, but not all, are parallel mechanisms Higher stiffness More accurate forces Tactile feedback (wearables, handhelds, etc.) PS4 game controller Tactile belt for military
Simodont Dental Trainer Complex parallel mechanism Full spectrum of forces Very firm Very delicate Cost: > $40K
Simodont Limitations Costly for most dentistry schools Limited range of motion of handheld drills
Impact Dental Training and Certification Haptics and Robotics Industry New advanced control technology Absolute zero virtual friction Gravity compensation
