Elumotion Humanoid Robotic Arm 1 – Elu1-Arm with wrist rotation demonstrating torque of 2.7Nm
Posted on 18. Jul, 2010 by Haptic Geek.
The Elu1-Arm is a human-scale anthropomorphic robot arm that simulates the movement and speed of a human arm. The arm has seven degrees of freedom actuated using powerful servo-motors and drive electronics, along with torque and absolute position sensors that are all situated compactly within the arms volume. Potential Domain Applications: MEDICAL advanced prosthetics; tele-medicine; DEFENCE articulated remotely operated bomb disposal robots; ACADEMIA research on Human-Robot Interaction/Cooperation and manipulation; ENTERTAINMENT cutting-edge advertisement; PRODUCT TESTING testing the effects of repetitive movement and pressures by people on products; HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTs provide a function of human tele-presence/tele-operation in Space; Poisonous gases; Confined spaces.

What is a virtual reality?
Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by Haptic Geek.
NASA video about the virtual environment display system produced in 1985 at Moffet Field, CA. What is a virtual reality? — Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, whether that environment is a simulation of the real world or an imaginary world. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special or stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. Users can interact with a virtual environment or a virtual artifact (VA) either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove, the Polhemus boom arm, and omnidirectional treadmill. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world, for example, simulations for pilot or combat training, or it can differ significantly from reality, as in VR games. In practice, it is currently very difficult to create a high-fidelity virtual reality experience, due largely to technical limitations on processing power, image resolution and communication bandwidth. However, those limitations are expected to eventually be overcome as processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful …
