Workshop


  • Haptic technology, or haptics, is a tactile feedback technology which takes advantage of the sense of touch by applying forces ,vibrations or motions to the user.
  • Haptic technology has made it possible to investigate how the human sense of touch works by allowing the creation of carefully controlled haptic virtual objects. These objects are used to systematically probe human haptic capabilities
  • This workshop is designed keeping in mind the practical implementation of the Technology and students gain from the workshop.
  • The workshop discusses about Advanced robots, Haptic Technology ,micro controllers, Programming , Sensors , Actuators and Communication.
  • The charges for the workshop are 1550 /- per person inclusive of all taxes and training material.
