I Remotely Control A Crazy Robot Arm Using VR!

I remotely take control of a robot using VR! The Quest 2 app from Extend Robotics provides a 3D volumetric stream to the headset making controlling an expensive robot using natural arm movements and gripping gestures easier! In this video, I put it to the test!

I can imagine a future where I can call into my job and say "I'm not feeling well today, can I work by proxy?" And then I can control a robot that does my job.

[@jordanhannah3912]

Yes, so many implications of this technology. I absolutely love it.

[@wlot28]

Nobody would work in person if you could do that

[@shaunmorrissey7313]

We have already witnessed millions of jobs lost to automation, as automation becomes more sophisticated say goodbye to the rest of them.

[@Antisoleil]

[@diablo.the.cheater]

@@shaunmorrissey7313 That is humanity mision, no ammount of jobs lost can stop humanity final goal of the whole species surviving and thriving by doing absolutly nothing

[@nuclearscarab]

Definitely could be a future for this tech in dealing with radioactive waste and whatnot.

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

If we are still needing to handle nuclear waste in the future we have failed as a species.

[@extendrobotics]

nuclear decommissioning could be an immediate use for this technology.

[@nuclearscarab]

@@cyumadbrosummit3534 We already have a lot of it to deal with. And not all nuclear waste comes from making nuclear weapons.

[@maximman102n7]

We actually already are using very similar technology already in the nuclear space

[@dfadir]

Mike, definitely post more videos like this! VR is for so much more than games and you can help so much the creators of these solutions showcasing them here. Congratz for the great work, as always!

[@mojoxr4742]

VR technology allows us to see infinite possibilities in the future, we can't just limit VR technology to games, of course after the robot grows five fingers hahaha

[@VIDEOSASDE]

Fantastic! Think of the next ones!

[@thevectorcollector]

I definitely think that VR remote controlled robots are a brighter future than simply robots replacing humans at their jobs, that would be worse for humanity and if the tech fails who's gonna correct it

[@ChristianGarcia-ef3ec]

This is beautiful, this video genuinely made my day ❤

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Thanks Christian! This comment made my day []-)

[@computernoob12]

So cool! I absolutely love the way you can operate the robot. Essentially telling the robot where to go with its virtual counterpart.

[@MrSurviv0r]

This was awesome! I appreciate the other sides of VR. While I tend to focus on games, that's just the kid inside talkin'..😁 I'm genuinely interested in other use cases like this. Excellent video, Mike!!! 🍺👊

[@cslayer5203]

It looks very good and I could see this being used for some of the things you said

[@Loundsify]

Wow Mike you're so good at this. They should use you to demo it for sales!

[@ronm6585]

Enjoyed this content Mike. Thanks for sharing.

[@FreshFroge]

Cool video

[@SteelOnVR]

Amazing Technology, Amazing Video!

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Cheers Steel! []-)

[@MakayplaysVR]

This was so cool. Loved the look at this experience!

[@tinynoodlesgaming8811]

Amazing, I hope to review stuff like this when I start my channel. You influenced me to start making videos. Love your videos keep up the excellent work. This looks cool!

[@PlushTrapEditz]

Wow that is incredible.

[@GAMERTAGVR]

Absolutely fantastic as always

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Thank you bud []-)

[@GT1GT]

I love Tech, it's in the top 4 in my life.

[@belokol]

I love it, the future is here and is wonderful

[@9am3rb0y]

This kind of technology is seriously giving me some "Surrogates" (an old movie) vibes and I couldn't be more excited by the possibility of it actually potentially coming to fruition

[@gxooey1722]

Bro I want to see two people battle in table tennis with these

[@thegamingshack781]

Wow that was awesome

[@tasker210]

Can Mike get more likes? Like come on he is our teacher... Kinda telling us about VR stuff

[@KristisG]

awesome video, very cool!

[@Rebar77_real]

Cool stuff! Imagine loggers piloting climbing ant bots in forest fires with chainsaw arms. Efficiency baby! Us cutting the hedges from the living room is more likely though, haha. Mines already have remote operators I wonder how many of them use VR. Oh, and if you like the arms but don't have $14K there is "VR Robotics Simulator on Steam". It lets you program and play with industrial robot arms. Just not live like this tech.

[@drone815]

I love your videos!

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Cheers Xander []-)

[@gabrilapin]

Incredible !

[@ransonmcconahay5275]

I’m a huge space fan so the applications for this in space exploration would be absolutely incredible, with the right technology this could completely negate the need for EVA’s which are incredibly difficult, time consuming and dangerous

[@supremebaconoverlord]

Maybe in couple of years we'll see more these projects pop up. Definitely interesting

[@PsychoticAbood]

random question, is it better to wait out the quest pro or should i jump in on the quest 2 immediately?

[@haninassar1976]

Really nice 👌

[@ZTrollface]

Wow, the only bad thing is the delay from the video feed to the arm and the fact you can only see what the cam seems but other than that I am amazed!

[@craftmaster300]

This tech reminds me of something from the book ready player two, where Wade logged into a telebot in space through his oasis headset to look down on the planet. I feel like this tech would be very applicable in space. Astronauts would not have to go on a risky space walk and instead hook on a vr headset and control a robot arm on the outside to do whatever repair is needed.

[@Mike-bg3cf]

Excellent video!

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

Cheers mate! []-)

[@maximman102n7]

We already are using technology like this for surgery, the DaVinci surgical robots have 3d view and have been used to do remote surgery

[@Ellexis]

The future is bright.

[@scraub8913]

Oh wow amazing

[@priscillaquinn9505]

I've assumed this will be the future of all jobs in the future factory, dangerous etc.

[@brettcameratraveler]

What app are they using to remotely stream the depth camera feed into the Quest?

[@_highframes_]

Que incrível Mike! Vejo como isso será importante para serviços com grau elevado de dificuldade será superado!

[@amitaiamar3251]

this is amazing i would like to see more about this tech and i think it can really help with now days covid 19

[@mtab2008]

Hello, did you use your own app via Unity or Unreal Engine to launch your project with Quest 2?

[@mmseng2]

I'm surprised they didn't start out with more than one camera. Seems like a no brainer with minimal development time (relatively). Being able to stop controlling the arm, move around, and start controlling it from a different angle would be a game changer.

[@extendrobotics]

Thanks for recognising value of the interactive digital twin. the Seamless and efficient fusion of multiple rgb-d cameras requires careful implmenetation, which we are working really hard on.

[@mmseng2]

@@extendrobotics Very cool. I didn't mean to undersell the work. I'm sure it's still very difficult. Good luck!

[@shuflie]

Remote robot Jenga next.

[@12Saqlain]

Amazing

[@MeShadow]

That's Badass.

[@bkool2]

Instead of doing 1:1, they should allow you a zoomed view 3:1, so your movements are only 1/3 of the real life, allowing you to do the fine movements. Or perhaps add some sensors to the grips instruments to have an optional auto stop.

[@extendrobotics]

Allowing flexible ratio of operation is another advantage of the digital twin approach we have in VR

[@Hoezaay]

wow ! 👀👀

[@CrimsonCarry]

that’s crazy

[@anserkon5709]

I think that it need to add second 3d camera. It will be help to create full working space in VR.

[@usgovernment182]

There are certainly jobs that require a person to make certain decisions. To be able to work those jobs from home, controlling an off-site robot would be absolutely awesome.

[@legowyn24]

Thats cool, now put it on the oculus store :)

[@vruser0136]

Hey! I’m a huge fan. I also own a quest 2, but I didn’t fully understand what cross buy is. Like are there any games that have cross buy between quest and rift. Or games that have cross buy between quest, rift and pcvr? Do you think you can make a video about it. That would be amazing. Thank you any way.

[@michelverheijen6643]

No need for video. Crossbuy is only for oculus ehh facebook ehh meta store. Not all games(red matter for example). If you own a vr ready pc you can play the pcvr version on oculus rift(rest in peace my friend they killed you like Mark betrayed his friends in the old days) or quest with link or airlink and the standalone downscaled version on quest. But if you read the info of the game on the facebook store you can find it.

[@CanalWillToms]

Bro this is soo interesting

[@banana.3009]

was the price tag important in the title?

[@ShiftKoncepts]

How much it cost to implement this

[@Linekeractual]

Dope

[@number1homsy590]

noice

[@yurysem2948]

14,000 $ is pretty steep for a remote hand-job machine.

[@AngrySalt]

It will probably get cheaper and better as time goes on.

[@justintanner5963]

This is the kind of engineering i would like to get into someday. A mix of ai with human assit

[@flyingwithfroggy14]

I'm not the only one who had a feeling it's all connecting these past years! This type of tech can literally be used for mars missions when we are able tl achieve a super far signals in the next 5-10 years. it needs the proper & safe funding. Drones are already a reality these past 10years & being seriously used more and more already, now this is just a step above it. Gamer skills are going to to be paying off lmao.. My dream is to have a mech one day

[@twisted2293]

Got my Quest 2 today

[@virtually_1]

This is the meta verse in a nutshell

[@Geminosity]

One step closer to enacting the good parts of 'Surrogates', minus the Bruce Willis :3

Do you sponsor these

Get this tech to drive a Boston dynamics Atlas bot and do real life rock em' sock em' robots.

[@Krestestovnikoff]

Couldn't they use another quest as a "head"? It would have to be movable too of course, but I feel the passthrough we use everyday gives a really good perception of depth...

[@joshkar24]

can a cheaper version be dressed up as a real arm and put to use in the "comfort" industry? perhaps for the infirmed or disabled, accompanied by visuals? bi-directionally maybe? ;)

[@eloyvenegas2709]

sky net is upon us

[@Shivam-4114]

Hmmm So, what if you take 4 cameras and place it around can you see the back and the sides clearly 🤔

[@VirtualRealityOasis]

You could probably get pretty close to a full capture with just two cameras placed opposite each other []-)

🤩

[@tislumberjack4020]

surgery can get even more interesting because surgeons are going to have more controlled movements and visibility at smaller and smaller detail. Using a micron sized needle or claw in a VR headset could feel like your entire hand, giving way more control to a wider number of surgeons. Imagine being able to stare at small veins and tissue in real-time right in-front of you, rather than through a microscope. Same could be said for semiconductor development.
