Flywheel-Based Devices for Instant Impact Force Feedback
WORK IN PREPARATION | 13 DEC 2023

I’ve been mentoring one of Prof. Mike Y. Chen’s students in a project focused on developing an impact feedback device using a flywheel. This project explores the use of braking, accelerating, and decelerating a rotating wheel to create varied impact sensations. The potential applications of this research includes the creation of enhanced virtual impact experiences featuring realistic impact timing (1ms) and substantial torque magnitude (22Nm).
