Using Haptic Gloves to Control an Amazing Telepresence Robot!

Hello, and welcome to Drawfee!

[@Duraltia]

I'm intrigued in your train of thought on using THESE gloves and robots arms - highly unpractical - for your given task when instead you could use a - purpose-built - pen and tablet solution hooked to a PC to draw on and then teleprompt the information there to another PC? The WORST solution that might actually work would be to JUST teleprompt the pen in your bare hands instead of THOSE gloves holding a regular pen.

[@grimsoul0]

You could do one drawing while the robotic hand draws a duplicate. Double your production.

With the close ups of the arms around 1:36 it looks like they’re from one of those 1970-80 movies with stop motion because there was almost not CG or at least not competent CG.

[@bobcrutch8905]

I thought about these gloves/robot hands 20 years ago, ok I didn't know how they might work but I imagined them, my idea is let us say for example a washing machine factory, there could be one guy with the gloves on building a washing machine and 50 sets of arms copying his motions on an assembly line, the beauty of this system is it gives hand built quality to products but production line speed...cheers now

VP of sales, Ted baker, said “Bill, you gotta fly down there and you gotta see these hands” and I said “Ted, you’re lying and you’re fired”. But then I thought, if Ted was willing to get fired over these hands, maybe I better check ‘em out for myself. So here I am. Those. Are. Impressive. Gotta shake that hand.

This is going to be amazing in gaming, art, so many applications! I know it will also want to be used in some very crucial applications such as surgery or handling radioactive materials or biohazardous materials. I just hope those folks work "hard wired" but I suppose if the connection went down there would be a backup surgeon who keep you from dying while the techs fixed it?

Put a 3D camera about where a head should be compared to the arms and hands and then wear some VR goggles. Then you could be in a different room or even a different city, state, country, planet! Well, maybe not too far away as the latency would become an issue. This could mean doing work on the ISS without an EVA or even from a ground station. Cook tech. P.S. Seems I should wait until the end of the video to comment as you guys touched on this. :-)

[@LIFEOFSTUFFEDANIMALS]

[@paradigmcustomscales7832]

It looks like they are using a pneumatic or hydraulic fluid system to achive the small points of tactile feedback. Would it be more responsive to use an ER fluid within a confined layer of nitrile with a electromagnetic matix of pathways embedded in it. This should allow for much faster response time in the system and have greater potential to scale up the system. Potentially allowing a set of giant ands to be controlled to move large heavy objects. Possibly is response to large scale catastrophes like a building collapse.

[@Flyingwigs]

use this for deep ocean repair/exploration along with VR steroscopic vision!!!

[@neoblackcyptron]

Excellent platform for data collection and feed to the ML model so the arms can start working without human assisting them in the future.
