Haptic Feedback

Haptic feedback, the technology of providing tactile sensations to users interacting with virtual or remote environments, aims to enhance realism and improve performance in various applications. Current research focuses on developing cost-effective haptic devices, integrating haptic feedback with other sensory modalities (visual, auditory), and employing machine learning algorithms like convolutional neural networks and transformers to improve feedback accuracy and control. This field is significant for advancing teleoperation, robotics, virtual reality, and assistive technologies, with applications ranging from surgical training and driving assistance to improving human-robot collaboration and accessibility for people with visual impairments.
