Field Trips to a Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab

The Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine (CHARM) Lab creates robots and human-computer interfaces that use haptics in order to improve human health, safety, and quality of life. The word haptics refers to the sense of touch. Applications of our research include:

• Robot-assisted surgery
• Simulation and training
• Rehabilitation
• Prosthetics

We offer field trips and demos/presentations in classrooms to local K-12 schools.
