Strategic Objectives
• Unlock the secrets of mechanoreceptors and human tactile perception.
• Design sophisticated force-feedback systems for seamless robot interaction.
• Explore the engineering behind actuators that mimic physical reality.
• Master the integration of haptic textures in immersive interfaces.
