In Haptics, Machines Imitate Life

Released By FAULHABER MICROMO

In an increasingly virtual world, the ability to simulate touch provides powerful advantages, for example allowing an online shopper to “feel” a shirt fabric. Enter the discipline of haptics, which involves using robotics with sophisticated feedback and controls to simulate a tactile experience for the user. Haptic device manufacturer Quanser Consulting Inc., for example, produces five- and six-axis robots that supply crisp, realistic sensations. To do so, they leverage proprietary hardware and software, along with high-torque, highbandwidth motors from MICROMO.
Quanser started out serving the educational market, with products such as surgical simulators that permit medical students to experience making incisions without the use of a cadaver. “You can simulate the whole procedure and have them feel the same sensations they would if they were doing the real thing,” says Paul Karam, Quanser’s manager of dynamics & control. “You can also measure their performance—how much force did they apply, how much cutting did they do?”
