  1. What differentiates grounded force-feedback (GFF) devices from other categories of haptic devices? Explain your answer.
  2. Identify grounded force-feedback (GFF) devices in the following examples. Which one(s) is a kinesthetic device? Is defining the category of a device always straightforward?
Falcon (Novint Technologies)
Animotus (Spiers and Dollar, 2016)
Inca6D (Haption)
MagicPen (Kianzad et al., 2018)
(Zarate et al., 2017)
shapeShift (Siu et al., 2018)

1.3 Find a paper that employs a grounded force-feedback (GFF) device in an application or user study. Describe the application or the goal of the user study in a few sentences.

You can look through the papers published in the major haptics, robotics, and human-computer interaction venues:
