Mantis Duo
Unique Two-Handed Haptic System for Open Surgery Simulation
The Mantis Duo is a truly unique two handed haptic system. With its ability to render large forces and accommodate various end effectors it is an ideal platform for a wide range of bimanual simulation applications, including open surgery and robotics. The thin tension-cables do not obscure the users view, allowing projected 3D virtual objects to be co-located with the users hands. With onboard processing capabilities, the Mantis Duo delivers high quality force feedback with little computational overhead to your host PC. Download the Mantis Duo brochure.
