Abstract
A haptic needle insertion simulator includes a syringe compartment having a cavity and a retractable needle at an end of the syringe compartment. The needle is operable to retract into the syringe compartment when pushed against a surface. The cavity is configured to provide a force profile felt by a user holding the simulator and simulating a realistic feeling of insertion force.
