Subject The Haptic Avatar: Reaching Out And Touching Information!! |
Synopsis: The 3D Haptic Avatar is scale model of the PackBot Explorer that translates its movements to movements on the robot itself. It is a vastly more efficient control interface than other manipulators, such as joysticks. The PackBot Explorer is a field deployable robot with many uses, e.g. penetrating inaccessible and dangerous areas. In the future, this system could maniplulate any large set of sensory data: visual, tactile, etc. Haptic: Greek, relating to the sense of touch Avatar: A manifestation of an entity. |
