412 SENSITIVE SKIN—DESIGNING AN ALL-SENSITIVE ROBOT ARM MANIPULATOR

Figure 8.10 Robot teleoperation. The operator controls the main (slave) robot arm by
moving a small master arm seen on the right. The robot is expected to roughly follow the
path indicated in real time by the operator, while using its own sensing and intelligence
to avoid a chess player in its work space. The result is a path that is as close as possible
to the path shown by the operator, short of collisions.
