- Full Description:
- Professor Mandayam A. Srinivasan - Director, TouchLab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Title: 'Haptics: Science, Technology, and Applications'
Abstract:
Haptics is a rapidly emerging area concerned with computation, cognition, and communication underlying touch interactions in humans and machines. In this lecture, Prof. Srinivasan will present the scientific and technological underpinnings of Haptics. He will also cover exciting applications of Haptics demonstrated by his group, such as virtual reality based simulators for training surgeons, real-time touch interactions between people across the internet and direct control of machines from brain neural signals. He will summarize more recent results that include haptic exploration and manipulation at micro/nano precision, C. elegans biomechanics of touch, autonomous robotic fingertips, and human – machine interactions in healthcare applications.
