Haply

Haply is a Canadian maker of haptic devices and force-feedback technology. Its hardware lets people feel digital, simulated and robotic interactions through resistance, texture, pressure and contact. The products serve 3D design, robotics, simulation, education, research and physical AI work. Haply also sells a robotics workflow platform that connects its controllers to real machines.

Controllers and platform

• Inverse3 and Inverse3x: force-feedback controllers for robotics, simulation, research and training. The base model is rated at 0.01 mm position resolution and a 4 kHz haptic refresh, with up to 10 N of output force. Inverse3x is the enterprise version, with more than 10 N of force, five times the stiffness of Inverse3, an onboard touchscreen and auto-calibration.
• MinVerse: a portable 3D input device with rotation and force feedback, built for designers working in Geomagic Freeform. It folds to 240 by 120 by 40 mm and gives 0 to 4 N of output.
• HARP: the Human Advanced Robotics Platform, which connects Haply controllers to real robots so operators can steer them manually, capture exact movements and play them back, and train physical AI from human demonstration.

Where the devices are used

The site positions the devices for classrooms, studios, labs and advanced technical teams. Named uses include force-aware control of robotic arms, mobile robots and drones, sculpting and 3D design, research, training and medical workflows. The company says its goal is to make complicated interaction feel intuitive from the start.
