CMPUT605: Haptic Systems
Graduate-level introduction to the field of haptics,
focusing on teleoperated and virtual environments
that are displayed through the sense of touch. Topics covered include human haptic sensing and control, design of haptic
interfaces (tactile and force), haptics for teleoperation, haptic rendering
and modeling of virtual environments, control and stability issues, and medical
applications such as tele-surgery and surgical
simulation. Course work includes homework, programming assignments, reading and
discussion of research papers, presentations, and a final project. Appropriate
for students with interests in robotics, virtual reality, or
computer-integrated surgical systems.
