DARPA ’s ATLASis an telling exploit of robotics engineering , but despite representing the bleeding sharpness of zombi , it ’s slow and gawky when it comes to doing anything on its own . A well way to make a automaton as skilled as a human is to simply put a human in consummate control of it , manipulating it remotely like a puppet from a secure distance . That ’s whatRE2 Roboticsthinks is the adept approach , and watching therobot arms it developedmake a balloon animal is pretty convincing .
The extremely deft Manipulation System — or HDMS for light — that RE2 break has other advantages besides impressive dexterity . Were you to bump yourself in a situation where a robot like ATLAS were to fall on you , it would not be a pleasant experience . But The HDMS is actually half the weight of most robotic torsos , while still doubling the strength of its human operator .
That ’s why RE2 Robotics has design the organization for military and rescue work . It allow the golem to go into a severe place , but actually be useful when it comes to disarming a turkey , or digging out a subsister , because there ’s actually a human keep in line its every move .
More importantly , this technical school demo means that birthday clown will soon be capable to perform for kids without the risk of actually having to be anywhere near them . [ RE2 RoboticsviaIEEE Spectrum ]
