Haptics: Touch Perception, Interaction, and Engineering . BIOE 240

Haptics lies at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and computational and human perception. The term "haptics" is often used to refer to science and engineering related to the sense of touch. This course introduces human haptics, including sensory specializations and touch perception. It reviews the engineering of electronic technologies for haptic (touch) feedback, emerging technologies, and the design of haptic systems for human-computer interaction, sensory substitution, virtual reality, augmented reality, and other emerging areas. The class involves a mix of readings, hands-on activities, lecture/discussion, and projects.
