Haptics Symposium 2018

We had a great time attending and presenting some of our new work at the 2018 Haptics Symposium in San Francisco. Kai presented his paper on Electrostatic Adhesive Brakes for High Spatial Resolution Refreshable 2.5D Tactile Shape Displays. Alexa and Kai also gave some hands-on demonstrations on their shape displays, and we hosted over 100 visitors on technical tours of our lab.
