Online human-like redundancy optimization for tele-operated anthropomorphic manipulators

Tele-Operated Anthropomorphic Arm and Hand Design

In this project, a tele-operated anthropomorphic robotic arm and hand is designed and built as a versatile robotic arm system. The robot has the ability to manipulate objects such as pick and place operations. It is also able to function by itself, in standalone mode. Firstly, the robotic arm is built in order to interface with a personal computer via a serial servo controller circuit board. Th...

Telematics: Tele-Operated System

With the advent of the Internet and more recently the high-speed academic networks, has created a dynamic that has allowed the academic, scientific and research worldwide for greater interaction in order to develop collaborative, relevant research and cooperatively competitive. Thus, Teleoperation stems from the need to keep people away from sources of changing radiation. ——————————  ——————————

Mechatronic Controller for Tele-Operated Camera Platform

The New Zealand Film industry requires skilled operators to control the orientation of camera platforms. This is one of the crucial factors in producing movies with precision cinematography. Film footage of moving landscapes makes it difficult for the camera operator to efficiently operate the camera platform e.g. an inclined mountain terrain with surrounding trees and bushes. Such scenes requi...

A Haptic Tele-operated System for Microassembly

A tele-haptic system for microassembly applications is currently being developed at the Delft University of Technology, with the goal of achieving superior performance by providing enhanced feedback to the human operator. Assembly of a micro-harmonic drive is used as a benchmark to fully evaluate the proposed telehaptic system by investigating the control strategies and the individual subsystem...
