In the last decade, we have witnessed a drastic change in the form factor of audio and vision
technologies, from heavy and grounded machines to lightweight devices that naturally fit our …

The authors review the most important past and ongoing research projects in macro-
robotics, micro-robotics and bio-robotics, three general areas of robotics which have the …

CLAW is a handheld virtual reality controller that augments the typical controller functionality
with force feedback and actuated movement to the index finger. Our controller enables three …

We propose a class of passive haptics that we call Sparse Haptic Proxy: a set of geometric
primitives that simulate touch feedback in elaborate virtual reality scenes. Unlike previous …

An exoskeleton is an external structural mechanism with joints and links corresponding to
those of the human body. With applications in rehabilitation medicine and virtual reality …

Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor
aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives …

Haptic interfaces enable person‐machine communication through touch, and most
commonly, in response to user movements. We comment on a distinct property of haptic …

Upon publication almost 15 years ago, the first edition almost instantly became a trusted
reference, setting the stage for the coming decade, in which the explosion in research and …

Wearability will significantly increase the use of haptics in everyday life, as has already
happened for audio and video technologies. The literature on wearable haptics is mainly …

This paper addresses fundamental stability and performance issues associated with haptic
interaction. It generalizes and extends the concept of a virtual coupling network, an artificial …
