Product details
Overview
A large-workspace haptic leader interface for robot teleoperation, with six active force-feedback axes, an ergonomic handle and passive analog finger-gripper control.
Key capabilities
- Six-axis robot control: Feel translation forces and rotational torque through a large-workspace operator interface.
- ERGO handle: Four user buttons, an LED, hand-presence detection and an analog finger gripper support teleoperation.
- Forearm controls: A dedicated button box extends operator actions without releasing the handle.
- TREX integration: Pair with the separately configured TREX controller and robot-specific license.

Pairing and licensing
What is included?
The current device configuration uses the ERGO handle and forearm button box. A supported SDK/API license or TREX solution must be selected separately and itemized before order. The follower robot, optional sensors, displays and integration services are separate unless listed.
What needs configuration review?
TAO and TAO High Force require a separately selected SDK/API license or TREX solution. The supplier price sheet lists VirtuoseAPI, RaptorAPI, TREX and TAO2000 routes. Confirm the current supported route and license scope with Haption; the TREX permanent site SDK is not automatically required for every TAO project.
When should I choose TAO High Force?
Haption's October 2026 application guidance calls for Virtuose 6D TAO High Force for robots with a payload of 3 kg and above. Older datasheet and bundle guidance describes different standard-TAO pairings, so Haption must confirm the leader selection for the exact robot and task before order.
Do I need to buy a separate ERGO handle?
Current TAO and TAO High Force configurations use the ERGO handle and forearm button box. A separate ERGO purchase is for a quoted replacement or approved upgrade, rather than an automatic duplicate accessory. ERGO does not fit Desktop 6D.
Features
- Six-axis robot control—Feel translation forces and rotational torque through a large-workspace operator interface.
- ERGO handle—Four user buttons, an LED, hand-presence detection and an analog finger gripper support teleoperation.
- Forearm controls—A dedicated button box extends operator actions without releasing the handle.
- TREX integration—Pair with the separately configured TREX controller and robot-specific license.

FAQ
How do I order this configuration?
Request a quote with the application, quantity, destination and required software. Knoxlabs will confirm the exact configuration, lead time and final delivered price with Haption.
