TorqueCapsules: Fully-Encapsulated Flywheel Actuation Modules for Designing and Prototyping Movement-Based and Kinesthetic Interaction

Flywheels are unique, versatile actuators that store and convert kinetic energy to torque, widely utilized in aerospace, robotics, haptics, and more. However, prototyping interaction using flywheels is not trivial due to safety concerns, unintuitive operation, and implementation challenges. We present TorqueCapsules…
