Dual Arm Power Amplification Robot
Dual Arm Power Amplification Robot
Technical Characteristics:
One of the characteristics is that the electromagnetic motors operated arms are mechanically directly connected with the components measuring the magnitude and direction of the force applied by the human operator, allowing the human to directly feel the behavior of the robot (Direct Force Feedback)
Through this, the user can establish a correspondence between his own operation and the robot behavior and improve the manipulation through more practice.
Also compared to current master-slave systems the number of sensors and motors has been reduced.
