Design and control of a force-reflecting teleoperation system with magnetically levitated master and wrist

Abstract
A new approach to the design of teleoperationsystems is presented. It is proposed that the teleoperationslave be a coarse-#ne manipulator with a #ne-motion wristidentical to the teleoperation master. By using a combinationof position and rate control, such a system wouldrequire only small operator hand motions but would providelow mechanical impedance, high motion resolution andforce feedbackover a substantial volume.A new teleoperation system, consisting of a conventionalmanipulator...
