Keio University Research: Innovative touch sensitive avatar-robotic arm based on real time haptics
Researchers at Keio Universitys Haptics Research Center have developed a 'real-time-avatar-robotic arm that transmits sound, vision, and highly sensitive feelings of touch to remotely located users. This innovative touch sensitive robotic technology was reported in the October 2017 issue of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics and demonstrated at CEATEC (October 2017, Tokyo). The technology is expected to find applications in areas such as industrial manufacturing, harvesting farm produce, and nursing care.
