Welcome to MAE 207. This course provides an introduction to the design and control of haptic systems, which provide touch feedback to human users interacting with virtual environments and teleoperated robots. Topics include haptic-focused mechatronic design, system modeling and analysis (kinematics and dynamics), human-in-the-loop feedback control, and haptic feedback evaluation. Coursework includes lab-based homework assignments and a substantial, research-oriented project. This course is directed toward graduate students and advanced undergraduates in engineering and computer science. Recommended experience with: dynamic systems, programming, feedback control design, mechatronics, and hardware prototyping.
