Development of Anthropomorphic Multi-D.O.F. Master-Slave Arm for Mutual Telexistence
November/December 2005 (vol. 11 no. 6)
pp. 626-636
We developed a robotic arm for a master-slave system to support "mutual telexistence,” which realizes remote dexterous manipulation tasks and close physical communication with other people using gestures. In this paper, we describe the specifications of the experimental setup of the master-slave arm to demonstrate the feasibility of the mutual telexistence concept. We developed the master arm of a telexistence robot for interpersonal communication. The last degree of the 7-degree-of-freedom slave arm is resolved by placing a small orientation sensor on the operator's arm. This master arm is made light and impedance control is applied in order to grant the operator as much freedom of movement as possible. For this development stage, we compared three control methods and confirmed that the impedance control method is the most appropriate to this system.
