Welcome to the Haptic Interaction Laboratory at Clemson University. Working alongside the Institute for Biological Interfaces of Engineering (IBIOE), we study and research Haptics, the science of applying tactile (touch) feedback to a user interacting with virtual environments using special Input/Output devices, and its applications.
Our interdisciplinary laboratory is headed by Dr. Timothy Burg, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Other departments involved with work at the the lab are the Department of BioEnginering, and the Department of Psychology. We are especially interested in researching the following areas in Haptics:
- Medical and surgical applications of Haptics
- Studying the cognition of touch, and kinesthesis
- Teleoperation and human-machine systems
We have included details of our research, the team involved, and have put up some of our photos here. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at tburg@clemson.edu
