Virtual Exoskeleton for Telemanipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growing number of robotics application fields, mainly in services, has led to the increase of new needs as well as the development of new facilities for teleoperation. Research in the design of more efficient and easy to use human-machine interfaces has propitiated the development of friendly communication systems such as those based on voice or gesture recognition. This work describes a vision based human-machine communication system that allows a computer or a control unit to “see and track” the position of the hands of a human. Thus, the vision system can be used as a virtual exoskeleton for simple telemanipulation tasks.

Exostation: 7-dof Haptic Exoskeleton and Virtual Slave Robot Simulator
EXOSTATION is an ESA-funded project aiming at developing a complete haptic control chain. The demonstrator is composed of a 7-DOF portable arm exoskeleton master, controlling an anthropomorphic slave robot interacting with its working environment. This system is meant to be used in telemanipulation and telepresence modes (master/slave control), making it usable in many applications including sp...
متن کاملExperimental Bilateral Control Telemanipulation Using a Virtual Exoskeleton
The introduction of less invasive interfaces in control usually carry with them new drawbacks such as less perception, less dexterity, etc. This work tackles the experimentation of new means of perceptual feedback in teleoperation, when the operator guides the task by means of a visual exoskeleton, and consequently without any mechanical device that can be provided with haptic devices. The work...
متن کاملVirtual Fixtures for Bilateral Telemanipulation
This dissertation addresses three related topics in the application of virtual fixtures to bilateral telemanipulation systems. Bilateral telemanipulation is the direct human control of a remote robot, with force and/or tactile feedback, and virtual fixtures are guidance modes, implemented in software, that assist the user in accomplishing a telemanipulated task. The first topic addressed in thi...
