The Robotic Haptic Creature

Posted September 30, 2013 by Chris

"The Haptic Creature has three degrees of freedom through which it communicates its emotional state: a pair of ears, which vary in stiffness; lungs, which simulate breathing; and a purr box, which renders a vibrotactile “purr”. The robot has an array of force sensors across its body to sense touch and an accelerometer to sense movement."
