... for data acquisition and computation, thereby offloading operations from PC and allowing the display of more rigid surfaces while maintaining passive interactions between the user and the device. Three manuscripts describe techniques for extending the utility of haptic devices. Goncharenko et al...

... the modification of a PHANToM Premium 1.0 commercial haptic interface to enable computation by a real-time operating system (RTOS) that utilizes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) for data acquisition between the haptic interface hardware and computer. Furthermore, we explore the performance of the FPGA...

... education, robotics in higher education, software tools in the classroom, mechatronics and data acquisition, multimedia for higher education, and the role of the internet in higher education. The first four areas date from 1983, while the last two emerged in the late 1990’s. Future trends and issues...
