Soft,Wearable Robotics and Haptics

Abstract— Haptic technology is a field of technology that involves the use of touch, vibration, and other physical sensations to interact with digital devices and virtual environments. This technology has applications in a wide range of industries, including gaming, medicine, education, and communication. Haptic devices can simulate the sensation of touch and enable users to receive feedback from digital devices in real-time, providing a more immersive and interactive experience. This abstract explores the basics of haptic technology, its history, and the different types of haptic devices available in the market. Additionally, it discusses the potential applications of haptic technology and the challenges faced by researchers and engineers in developing advanced haptic systems.
