Hands-on Haptics: The Haptic Paddle

The primary goal of the Haptic Paddle is to improve learning outcomes in a required undergraduate mechanical engineering course via reflective learning featuring integrated systems [1]. The labs integrate haptic technology, LabVIEW, MATLAB simulations, and system interfacing in experiments to enhance understanding of dynamic systems and controls. The specific objectives of the Haptic Paddle-centric lab curriculum are:
