Robots are often required to function in environments which would be extremely dangerous or expensive when using direct human labour, however, computer control and intelligence are not sufficiently developed to perm't the robots to perform these advanced technical tasks under their own initiative, and there is always a human operative in the loop. Ideally the operator would wish to input body motions Cfrom legs, arm, hand and head) which the robot would duplicate, and receive from the remote sensors fill visual, audio and tactile feedback of a quality and form comparable with that normally produced by the eyes, ears and skin.
This work considers the development of input, control and feedback (visual audio and tactile) systems (man-machine interface) for a twin armed mobile robot tobe used in tele-presence applications. This multi-purpose human-machine interface provides the user with an enhanced degree oftrue control of ana 'feel' for the task.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
