Description:
The Center for Engineering and Design at the University of Utah is developing an anthropomorphic, hydraulically actuated, teleoperated arm. The system includes a sixteen degree-of-freedom slave manipulator controlled by a kinematically identical, sixteen degree-of-freedom force-reflective, exoskeletal master. The project has focused on four areas: (1) formulating a realistic set of design objectives which balance, against technical realities, the desire for performance, reliability and economy; (2) understanding control issues; (3) designing and fabricating new subsystems necessary for the construction of a successful machine; and (4) integrating subsystems, through a series of prototype stages, into an operational teleoperation system.
