About
Mark J. Lelieveld is a researcher specializing in haptic interface design and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on developing portable, multi-degree-of-freedom systems for tactile feedback and teleoperation. His most notable contributions center on advancing the engineering of wearable haptic devices capable of delivering nuanced force feedback to the human hand — a technically demanding challenge at the intersection of mechanical design, robotics, and human-computer interaction. Lelieveld's most impactful work, published in 2006, introduced two innovative conceptual designs for a 4 DOF portable haptic interface targeting the index finger, combining both active and passive multi-point force feedback mechanisms. This research was part of a broader ambition to realize a full 20 DOF master hand system suitable for master-slave teleoperation and virtual environment interaction. The paper has accumulated 32 citations, reflecting meaningful influence within the specialized haptics community. A complementary 2006 publication focusing exclusively on passive force feedback approaches garnered an additional 13 citations, underscoring the sustained interest in his design methodology. For students exploring haptic technology, teleoperation systems, or wearable robotics, Lelieveld's work represents an important foundational reference in portable hand interface engineering.
