L'haptique, un secteur croissant dans le domaine de la robotique, permet aux utilisateurs d'interagir physiquement avec des milieux dynamiques réels/virtuels par le biais de contrôleurs manuels robotisés actifs, appelés « dispositifs haptiques ». De récentes applications de la technologie haptique – comme les simulateurs de réadaptation ou de formation chirurgicale – nécessitent une interaction interhumaine […]

Haptics is a growing area of robotics in which users physically interact with dynamic real/virtual environments via active robotic hand-controllers, known as “haptic devices”. Recent emerging applications of haptic technology such as rehabilitation or surgical training simulators require stable high-performance human-to-human interaction in real/virtual environments. Such haptic interaction requires powerful high-performance haptic devices that can […]

Stroke is the primary cause of physical disability resulting in motor dysfunction. Rehabilitation robots are employed to automate repetitive goal-oriented tasks, and strengthen neural pathways. The portable robot built by our team in collaboration with Quanser can be programmed to aid therapists, and assist upper-limb movements to deliver rehabilitation. In this project, various limitations that […]
