Application:
Implement haptics into your products and/or research via this compact commercial research tool.

Description:
Quanser's 5 DOF Haptic Wand is a ground-breaking haptic device. Originally designed and constructed by Prof. Tim Salcudean (at the University of British Columbia) to perform research in haptics, Quanser has advanced the redundant actuator robot into a robust commercial tool. The haptic interface has five Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) allowing for three translations and two rotations (roll and pitch). This is achieved by using a dual-pantograph arrangement. Each pantograph is driven directly by two DC motors at its shoulders and another DC motor, more powerful, at its waist. The control wand end-effector is connected to both end points of each pantograph through Universal joints (U-joints).
