See & Meet Us

Our people and hardware are located in three different rooms at the faculty of 3mE at the University of Technology Delft in the Netherlands:

an office space F1-010, for PhDs and postdocs as well as MSc students and interns we are supervising
the lab space F1-340, which houses some of our experimental haptic devices
David’s office F2-120

Feel free to walk by anytime, but don’t despair if you can’t make it over to the Netherlands: you can often find us at international conferences and symposia to present our work. We also organize our own events, you can read and see our work in the media, and we enjoy outreach activities.
