Teleoperated hand motion tracking Robotic Manipulator with Haptic Feedback

The purpose of this project is to design and develop a remotely operated Robotic Manipulator which can imitate human hand motions captured through a 3D vision sensor and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). The gripper attached at the end of the Robotic Manipulator facilitates the user with gripping objects. Moreover there is a force feedback system at user's end which let the user feel the feedback force exerted on the robot's gripper by the object being gripped. This force feedback is vital in fragile object handling. Main goal of this project is to make Teleoperated Robotic Manipulators more affordable and flexible to use in daily consumer applications. This working model can be further developed to real world applications such as hazardous material handling, daily household activities and disable people assistance.
