Ferrofluid encapsulated electromagnetic actuators
Ferrofluid encapsulated electromagnetic actuators

Haptic force modules leveraging captive ferrofluid to enhance strength & avoid thermal limits. High force density, bandwidth at low voltages. Physics-based control renders single actuators spatially expressive - expansion, contraction, and projection.
