EXOSTATION : Haptic exoskeleton based control station

Abstract

EXOSTATION is a project aiming at building a complete haptic control station, which allows the operator wearing an exoskeleton-based haptic interface for the human to remotely control a virtual slave robot. The video presents the results achieved with the final system. It is composed of four main components. A human-arm exoskeleton used as a master haptic interface, its controller, a simulated virtual slave robot and a visualization tool. Demonstration scenarios are presented in the video and show the capabilities of the system.
