In an aspect, in general, a spooling apparatus includes a filament feeding mechanism for deploying and retracting filament from the spooling apparatus to an aerial vehicle, an exit geometry sensor for sensing an exit geometry of the filament from the spooling apparatus, and a controller for controlling the feeding mechanism to feed and retract the filament based on the exit geometry.

A touch interface device includes a touch surface configured to be engaged by an object, first and second actuator assemblies operably connected to the touch surface, and a controller operably connected with the first and second actuator assemblies. The first actuator assembly displaces the touch surface in one or more lateral directions along the touch surface at a first frequency. The second actuator assembly displaces the touch surface in an angled direction that is one of at least obliquely or perpendicularly angled to the touch surface at a second frequency. The controller operates the first and second actuator assemblies so that the touch surface varies in engagement with the object to impart a force on the object that is along the touch surface.
