Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

We introduce a simple modification which can be applied to a commercial haptic device to convert it into a 2D haptic joystick. We also introduce a simplified haptic API designed to allow rapid development of sophisticated haptic feedback behaviors on our 2D joystick. Finally, we present a case study in which we demonstrate the implementation of a haptic effect for controlling an autonomous robot using our set up. The design files, software, and instructions needed to duplicate our set up are being made publicly available.
