contents Humans process significantly more information through the sense of touch than through vision. Consequently, haptics for telemanipulation is poised to become essential in the coming years, as it offers operators an additional sensory channel crucial for interpretation in extreme conditions. However, current haptic device setups are either difficult to access or provide low-quality force feedback rendering. This work proposes the design of a single-axis, open-source setup for telemanipulation development, aimed at addressing these issues. We first introduce the haptic device and demonstrate its integration with common robotic tools. The proposed joystick has the potential to accelerate the development and deployment of haptic technology in a wide range of robotics applications, enhancing operator feedback and control.
