Abstract
This chapter describes the concept named “Haptic Tweezer,” which is in essence an object handling tool for contact-sensitive objects that are handled without any mechanical contact between the tool and the object, with the help of haptic technology. By combining haptic technology with conventional levitation systems, such as magnetic levitation and electrostatic levitation, intuitive and reliable non-contact object handling can be realized. This work has been previously published in journal and conference articles (van West, Yamamoto, Burns & Higuchi, 2007; van West, Yamamoto & Higuchi, 2007a;b) which form the basis of the information presented in this chapter.
