System and methods for controlling motion of a target object and providing discrete, directional tactile feedback

A forearm brace for attaching to a forearm of a user and a controller, the forearm brace comprising:

• a platform;
• an arm supporting section, the arm supporting section configured to be in contact with the forearm;
• an arm clamping mechanism for securing the platform to the forearm, the arm clamping mechanism including a left clamping member and a right clamping member, each one having (1) a first end rotatably coupled to the platform about an axis that is parallel to an axis extending longitudinally along the arm supporting section, and (2) a second end for engaging with the forearm;
• an engaging mechanism coupled to the arm clamping mechanism and configured to upon a first user input, rotate the left clamping member towards the forearm and rotate the right clamping member towards the forearm when the forearm is in contact with the arm supporting section;
• a releasing mechanism coupled to the arm clamping mechanism and configured to upon a second user input, rotate the left clamping member away from the forearm and rotate the right clamping member away from the forearm;
• and
• a coupling mechanism for coupling the platform to the controller.
