SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRECISE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT OF HAPTIC STIMULATOR
20230063246 · 2023-03-02 ·

A robotic haptic stimulator comprises a robotic mount which is configured to move a haptic stimulation device. The robotic mount can preferably move the haptic stimulation device in three-dimensional space. Movement in the x, y and/or z directions may be independently controlled and may be referenced to a designated point or position that may be associated with the human body. Lidar may be used to obtain information regarding the location/distance of one or more parts of a user for use in controlling the position of the haptic stimulation device. Movement of the haptic stimulation device may emulate movement of other objects and/or be synchronized to video or sound.
