  • We describe the hardware design, force-rendering approach, and evaluation of a new reconfigurable haptic interface consisting of a network of hybrid motor-brake actuation modules that apply forces via cables. Each module contains both a motor and a brake, enabling it to smoothly render active forces up to 6 N using its motor and collision forces up to 186 N using its passive one-way brake. The modular design, meanwhile, allows the system to deliver rich haptic feedback in a flexible number of DoF and widely ranging configurations.
