    Recent advancements in actuators, sensor technology, and virtual reality (VR) systems are allowing researchers to make significant strides to improve the dexterity and speed of robotic manipulators. Despite this, substantial opportunity remains to improve control interfaces and manipulators that are slow, unintuitive, and significantly less dextrous than the human body. Averro Robotics and Technology will develop an intuitive, easy-to-wear control interface for manipulating dual robotic arms. The control interface will provide haptic feedback to the operator and allow for the robot's “vision” to be experienced using VR, providing an unparalleled sense of immersion and depth perception for the operator. This technology will significantly improve operator safety in several environments including space exploration, spacecraft repair, explosive ordinance disposal, military operations, offshore and underwater environments, confined spaces, and other hazardous locations. This revolutionary, immersive technology is expected to allow remote tasks to be accomplished faster, more safely, and with less user training than other systems.

    De récents progrès dans les actionneurs, la technologie des capteurs et les systèmes de réalité virtuelle (RV) ont permis aux chercheurs de faire des avancées importantes en matière de dextérité et de rapidité des manipulateurs robotisés. Malgré cela, de grandes améliorations sont nécessaires dans le domaine des interfaces de commande et des manipulateurs, qui sont relativement lents, peu intuitifs et d'une dextérité sensiblement inférieure à celle du corps humain. Averro Robotics and Technology se propose de développer une interface de commande intuitive, facile à porter, pour la manipulation du double bras robotisé. Cette interface de commande assurera une rétroaction haptique et permettra de voir en RV « à travers les yeux du robot », le tout assurant un sens de l'immersion et une profondeur de perception inégalés pour l'opérateur. Cette technologie permettra d'améliorer sensiblement la sécurité dans divers environnements, comme l'exploration spatiale, la neutralisation des explosifs, les opérations militaires, les opérations au large et sous-marines, les espaces confinés et les autres endroits dangereux. Cette technologie révolutionnaire et immersive devrait permettre de travailler à distance plus rapidement et en toute sécurité, tout en exigeant moins d'entraînement de l'opérateur que les autres systèmes.
