Free Online Course: Introduction to Haptics provided by edX is a comprehensive online course, which lasts for 5 weeks long, 1-10 hours a week. The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Upon completion of the course, you can receive an e-certificate from edX. Introduction to Haptics is taught by Allison Okamura.

Overview
  • To participate in lab assignments (which is not strictly required to receive a Statement of Accomplishment), the participant will need to acquire/build the components of a Hapkit, and assemble and program the device. Laboratory assignments using Hapkit will give participants hands-on experience in assembling mechanical systems, making circuits, programming Arduino-based micro-controllers, and testing their haptic creations. After the class, we hope that you will continue to use and modify your Hapkit, and let us know about your haptic creations. Please note that you can still participate in the online course without the Hapkit and receive a Statement of Accomplishment, but you will not be able to do most of the laboratories.
