Following devices implemented at several universities, the Rice University Haptic Paddle was developed in 2006 [1]. After 6 years of implementation, the Paddle underwent a successive redesigns led by undergraduate researchers Folasade Oba (v. 2012) and Jared Elinger (v. 2014). The primary design changes from the first version of the Haptic Paddle include using a robust ‘friction drive’ instead of a capstan-cable transmission to provide simplicity and improved reliability and the implementation of the National Instruments LabVIEW and myDAQ and myRIO. The myRIO product launch video is included at the bottom of this page.
