    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Educational Technology

    Background:

    • The need for accessible and affordable haptic devices in education is growing.
    • Existing haptic devices can be expensive and complex, limiting their widespread adoption.
    • The Stanford Haptic Paddle served as a foundation for developing a more cost-effective alternative.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design, evolve, and analyze Hapkit, a low-cost, open-source kinesthetic haptic device.
    • To decrease cost and increase accessibility for educational applications, from K-12 to college courses.
    • To optimize Hapkit's performance for educational use through material and design testing.

    Main Methods:

    • Iterative design and testing of transmission, actuation, and structural materials.
    • Utilizing a capstan drive, inexpensive DC motor, and 3-D printed components for Hapkit 3.0.
    • Employing frequency-domain system identification, validated by first principles and transient analysis, to characterize device dynamics.

    Main Results:

    • Hapkit 3.0 demonstrates lower damping and Coulomb friction compared to previous iterations.
    • A user study confirmed that Hapkit 3.0 enhances the discrimination of virtual stiffness.
    • The design evolution successfully balanced cost reduction with high performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Hapkit 3.0 represents a significant advancement in low-cost, open-source haptic technology for education.
    • The device is suitable for open dissemination and integration into various educational settings.
    • Hapkit provides an accessible platform for hands-on learning in dynamic systems and control.
