At this stage, the project has successfully developed a conceptual shadow robot system, in which the operator wears a 3D printed exoskeleton device with potentiometers attached to measure her/his joint angles and drives two UR5 robotic arms to achieve the human poses.
To demonstrate the system's capability and functionality, the testing operator drives the robotic arms to pick up an object, hand it over to the other arm and drop it off at a desired reachable position.
The proof of concept development demonstrated that the designed shadow robot system could be used to duplicate human motions.
