Researchers at Stanford have reported the first high energy density shape memory polymer based on the formation of strain-induced supramolecular nanostructures, which immobilize stretched chains to store entropic energy.
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have developed a monolithically 3D printed haptic device that provides skin pressure, linear and rotational shear, and vibration feedback.
A researcher at Stanford has developed a system for providing location-specific haptic feedback to users in a manner that greatly reduces the number of haptic drivers or motors required.
Researchers at Stanford have developed technology to bring new dimensions to wearable haptic devices and better reflect the breadth of haptic interactions in our lives.
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a dynamically adaptive workspace mapping control method that adjusts remote task resolution to keep haptic-robot (in real-world applications) or haptic-avatar (in virtual environment) interactions within the device works
Researchers in the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed a compact high-fidelity haptic teleoperation system which shows accurate and isotropic behavior in translation and rotation.
Stanford inventors have developed a new approach to tackling the vergence-accommodation conflict, which is a common contributor to discomfort associated with virtual reality setups.
Stanford researchers at the Salisbury Lab have prototyped a wearable, articulated robotic device that can be attached to a person at the hip or other location to augment human task productivity. This mechanical "third arm" has many uses such as assisting abled users (e.g.
Engineers in Prof. Mark Cutkosky's laboratory have patented a compact, intuitive, haptic vehicle feedback system that communicates multi-dimensional information to drivers through the grip of the steering wheel.
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have patented a haptic device that simulates a stroking sensation.
Researchers in Prof. Allison Okamura's laboratory have patented a small, simple tactile display that can automatically control both its surface geometry and its mechanical properties.
Stanford researchers have patented the "Wolverine," a mobile, wearable haptic device designed for simulating the grasping of rigid objects in virtual reality.
