Abstract
Described are various embodiments of a multimodal haptic tool and method using same. In one embodiment, the multimodal tool comprises a body comprising one or more coupling portions, each coupling portion configured to be releasably mechanically coupled to a distinct haptic device. The tool is configured so that upon being coupled to two or more distinct haptic devices, being usable with each distinct haptic device simultaneously as a single haptic device having a greater number of degrees of freedom than the initial number of degrees of freedom of each distinct haptic device alone. In some embodiments, a kinematic or dynamical model used to operate the haptic devices is selected based on the number of haptic devices the tool is connected to.
