HapTECH – Deve­lo­p­ment of hapti­cally supported func­tional elements for human-machine interaction

Happen 2

As a moda­lity of proxi­mity, haptic percep­tion is predestined for complex inter­ac­tions. By combi­ning percep­tion and action in the human hand, it enables fast and precise inter­ac­tion processes.

The aim of the project was to develop univer­sally usable haptic systems that can be used in cockpit opera­tion and other human machine inter­faces. Variable haptic actua­tors and their asso­ciated control compon­ents should enable the inte­gra­tion of haptic signals into exis­ting user inter­faces as feed­back, without having to comple­tely rede­velop the user interface.
