Woodenhaptics.org Website Review

welcomed to try it out! In the same time we will release the updated schematics etc for version 1.5. The main difference is that USB is our primary interface now and that the electronics support vintage devices. Jonas Forsslund and Jordi Solsona will be travelling by train from Stockholm to Munich. Please e-mail [email protected] if you want to meet to discuss collaboration etc! Jordi Solsona Belenguer(1), Jonas Forsslund(1), Ellinore Seybolt(2), Alexander Jonsson(2) (1) Forsslund Systems AB, (2) KTH Royal Institute of Technology ABSTRACT: WoodenHaptics was first presented at the ACM TEI conference 2015 as a module-based open source hardware spatial haptic device. In this demo an updated version is shown featuring the new full USB support making it feasible to use it with a standard laptop and a consumer power supply. This demo will feature three haptic devices that will use the same modular electronics box that we have designed. First, the open-source WoodenHaptics device that is designed for modification in shape and size as well as tuning of parameters to fit a particular task or application. Second, a compact work-in-progress aluminum-based device that has embedded the electronics inside. And finally we show how the vintage Phantom Premium haptic device can be given USB-support using just two additional pas*ive adapters and our electronics box. The demo applications are from the open-source software library Chai3D 3.2 and will be shown on two laptops running Ubuntu 16.04. The schematics, firmware code and software drivers can all be do*nloaded from woodenhaptics.org and used under a creative-commons share-alike license. An updated and in-depth research paper about WoodenHaptics has been published in the IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine. The title is If you do not have access to the publication feel free to send an email to one of the authors (e.g. Jonas Forsslund; Starting today, January 26, 2017, we are offering kits to get started in building your own WoodenHaptics device!
