HAPTIC

SEMINAR ON HAPTIC : The laboratory works on the design and engineering of haptic design of haptic interfaces, ie systems that include software and hardware components that affect the sense of touch.
They work on-line computational models of interaction between objects (deformation, friction, shear, etc.) that can provide high-fidelity simulations, involving, for example, the construction of surgical simulators. I am also interested in the construction of surgical simulators. They are also interested in the study included the eternal effects of touch, and use them to create equipment, methods of detection and tactile.
The laboratory deals with interesting applications for rehabilitation according to the operator of the space, medicine and music performance computer. Over the past decade, a number of contact devices were also created including pantograph and the freedom-7.Other devices based on different principles, is being developed as actuators and control methods, is a source of movement, are also great interest.
The laboratory has also contributed to the programming of robots, production track, mechanism design and calculation of collision. The haptics lab at the center of Intelligent Machines at McGill University.
