Our group studies the mechanics linked to tactile perception. Our approach lies at the intersection of the observation of tactile interaction with high precision devices, the design of haptic interfaces for reproducing realistic tactile sensations and the psychophysical study of human perception.
We design bespoke surface haptic devices to produce tactile sensation directly on the user's fingertip
We design and develop soft tactile sensors using color-mixing principle to measure the 3d interactions between the sensor and the object.
Touch is the perception of contact and we strive to further the understanding the underpinning mechanics
We study how to create compelling sensations using surface haptics
The lab is generously supported by public and private funding.
