Haptics: Touch Command

Content Provider	TeachEngineering: STEM curriculum for K-12
Author	Muldoon, James Muller-Clark, Saranii
Copyright Year	2013
Description	Students experience haptic (the sense of touch) feedback by using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robots and touch sensors to emulate touch feedback recognition. With four touch sensors connected to LEGO EV3s, they design sensor attachments that feel physically distinguishable from each another. Students experience haptic (the sense of touch) feedback by using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robots and touch sensors to emulate touch feedback recognition. With four touch sensors connected to LEGO EV3s, they design sensor attachments that feel physically distinguishable from each another. Then students answer questions and communicate their answers to the EV3 by pressing the touch sensor that is associated with the right multiple-choice answer letter. Haptics becomes essential when students must use the EV3 sensors to answer the next set of questions without the aid of their vision. This challenges them to rely solely on the tactile feeling of each unique touch sensor attachment that they created in order to choose the correct peripheral slot. Students also learn about real-world applications of haptics technology.
