We demonstrate how two Novint Falcons, inexpensive commercially available haptic devices, can be modified to a create a reconfigurable five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) haptic device for less than $500 (including the two Falcons). The device is intended as an educational tool to allow a broader range of students to experience force and torque feedback, rather than the 3-DOF force feedback typical of inexpensive devices. We also explain how to implement a 5-DOF force/torque control system with gravity compensation. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
