AVATAR XPrize Telerobotic System
CED (cost effective dexterity) is attained through a human-scale servo-controlled hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder comprising a total of 24 individually controlled joints. RIC (remote intuitive controller) is a wearable device that tracks an operator's hand and arm motions to guide the manipulator.
The manipulator can be used for animatronics and other entertainment-related applications as well as for research in robotics, prosthetics and telemanipulation. In addition to telemanipulation and telepresence, the controller may be used to train robotic arm motions and as a virtual/augmented reality input device.
