Unilateral Teleoperation Setup with JACO Robot Arm

As a part of a CRTI project on telerobotic IED neutralization, Qunaser is responsible for research and development of an immersive telepresence environment for the robotic end application. As an initial step, we implemented a unilateral teleoperation setup between Sensable's PHANTOM Omni and a JACO robot arm by Kinova. Full joint-level open architecture access to the robotic arm is enabled through QUARC rapid prototyping software. A realistic model of the arm is presented in QUARC visualization in order to test and implement various controllers.

Before learning how to operate complex haptic robotic systems such as the Jaco arm, it's important for engineering students to first understand basic rotary control fundamentals.
