Suggest or enter data for a new device or a new attribute

If you want to add data about a device into the Haptipedia database (whether or not you created the device), you can use the following form.

Before entering a new device, please make sure that the device is a grounded force-feedback device (e.g., not an ungrounded exoskeleton) and that it is not already included in the Haptipedia visualization.

We and the haptic community will review your entry and add it to the database.

Alternatively, you can suggest that we include a device in the future by emailing report@haptipedia.org with information about the device, such as a link to a publication about the device or a product data sheet.

If you have any other inquiries about the Haptipedia project, please email info@haptipedia.org.
