Discover TouchDIVER Haptic Glove for Teleoperations and Remote Robot Control

Telerobotics is an incredibly valuable field that enables the remote control of robots. Application spans various fields, including micro-assembly, telemedicine, space exploration, hazardous material handling, and remote inspections.

Integrating TouchDIVER haptic gloves into the controlling system ensures the ability to feel what the end effector is doing. This facilitates them in carrying out tasks in challenging, inaccessible, or distant environments.

Unique features

Haptic for human-machine interfaces

A crucial aspect of these systems is the integration of haptics for human-machine interfaces. In this setup, two key agents come into play: the operator, who remotely controls the robot through a human-machine interface known as the “master system,” and the robot itself, referred to as the “slave system.”

TouchDIVER can serve as an exceptional human-machine interface on the master side. By utilizing TouchDIVER, operators are empowered with a natural and comfortable means of controlling the slave system while receiving valuable feedback on the robot’s interactions with the environment.

The advantages of haptics for operators

The utilization of haptics brings numerous advantages to operators. Through haptic feedback, operators can effectively perceive the shape, textures, and temperature of objects manipulated by the robot, thus enhancing their overall sense of presence in the application.

By enabling operators to gather sensory information and experience the remote environment through the robot, haptics has been proven to significantly improve task performance, enhance operator awareness, and elevate manipulation accuracy.
