Tele-operation of an industrial robot by an arm exoskeleton for peg-in-hole operation using immersive environments

Abstract

Abstract The design and development of an upper limb exoskeleton are being discussed for the tele-operation in order to control the KUKA KR5 industrial robot. When sufficient resolution is not provided by the visual feedback, feedback of haptic provides a qualitative understanding of changes in the remote conditions. This also provides tactile feedback from the virtual and real environment. Peg in a hole operation using exoskeleton works as the master for tele-operation in order to control the robot using immersive environment as visual feedback for the operator. The application of this work can be implemented as a nuclear power generation plant.
