Remote operations – remote guided robots - stage 1
31 May 2022
Focus area: Automation, processing and efficiency
Program stream: Innovation and technology leadership
Project number: 2021-1155
As part of the project, a tele-operated robot system was developed to provide insight into the potential uses of remoted operated robots in the red meat processing industry. The system used a motion controller to capture hand movements and was fitted with a gripper to allow for remote picking of objects.
The robot system was tested demonstrating the ability to track a remote operator’s hand movements and gestures to control robot and operate end effector tooling presenting the possibility of developing this technology further to perform remote operated meat processing tasks.
