Haptic Robot
High-definition, open-architecture haptic platform for advanced robotics, teleoperation, Physical AI research.
The Haptic Robot is a high-precision, 6 degrees of freedom haptic interface designed for advanced research in robotics, teleoperation, human-machine interaction, and dexterous manipulation. It provides programmable force feedback in 5 DOF, X, Y, Z, Roll, and Pitch, with continuous yaw motion, enabling responsive control for teleoperated robotic systems, augmented haptic feedback, and human-in-the-loop Physical AI workflows. The device connects supports a simple plug & play USB interface for quick integration with other Quanser robotic systems.

Product Details
The Haptic Robot features a large workspace, very low intervening dynamics, and a highly back-drivable parallel mechanism with negligible friction. Its heavy-duty capstan drive, high-performance DC motors, high-resolution optical encoders, adjustable brass counterbalances, and six built-in high-bandwidth linear current amplifiers enable stiffness coefficients up to 3,000 N/m. Researchers can deploy and validate custom control strategies, teleoperation methods, adaptive feedback systems, and human demonstration workflows seamlessly from MATLAB® and Simulink®, Python® & ROS 2™.
The Haptic Robot can be used as a standalone haptic research platform or as part of the Quanser Physical AI Lab, where it pairs with the QArm Research manipulator to support teleoperation, data generation, imitation learning, and end-to-end physical AI research.
