Haptics Club with Christian Lenz and Max Schwarz, two PhD students and members of team Nimbro, the winning team of the AVATAR Xprize competition. We will talk about robotic avatars, their development process and the achievement that won them the competition.

In this episode of the Haptics Club, we talk with Hong Z. Tan. Tan is a renowned haptics scientist at Google, known for her research on perception-based haptic interfaces. With a background in biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and MIT, respectively, Hong has also had extensive industry experience, including a stint at Microsoft Research Asia. She is a Fellow of IEEE for her contributions to wearable haptics and holds concurrent appointments at Purdue University in the fields of Electrical Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Psychological Sciences.

In this episode of the Haptics Club, we were joined by Craig Douglass, co-founder and CEO of Contact CI. His company is developing a different type of force feedback glove based on bioinspired control methods of resistive force feedback. In this episode, we talk about gloves, haptics, and challenges in hardware development. Let’s get right into it!

In this episode, we sit down with Danny Grant, a technology visionary who has a proven record of innovation and a passion for building a better future. For over 20 years Danny was Innovation Program Director at Immersion Corp, while currently, he is founding partner and CTO at Innovobot. We sat down with Danny to talk haptics, innovation and challenges when it comes to pushing novel tech.
