Abstract

In some examples, a plurality of contact members is connected to a contact base of an electronic device. The contact base and the plurality of contact members form a contact system. At least one sensor is configured to capture object data corresponding to at least one object. A relative velocity between the contact system and the object is determined based on the object data. The contact system is configured to apply a force profile to the object based on the relative velocity.
