Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling end-effectors. In some examples, a system includes a finger-tracking system configured for tracking one or more fingers of an operator and controlling movement of the end effector based on tracking the one or more fingers. The system includes a sensor configured for measuring a distance between the end effector and a target object in an environment of the end effector. The system includes a feedback system configured for electrically stimulating at least one of the one or more fingers of the operator with an electrical pulse having a frequency based on the distance between the end effector and the target object.
Claims21
A system for controlling an end effector, the system comprising:
- a finger-tracking system configured for tracking one or more fingers of an operator and controlling movement of the end effector based on tracking the one or more fingers;
- a sensor configured for measuring a distance between the end effector and a target object in an environment of the end effector;
- and
- a feedback system configured for electrically stimulating at least one of the one or more fingers of the operator with an electrical pulse having a frequency based on the distance between the end effector and the target object.
A method for controlling an end effector, the method comprising:
- tracking one or more fingers of an operator and controlling movement of the end effector based on tracking the one or more fingers;
- measuring a distance between the end effector and a target object in an environment of the end effector;
- and
- electrically stimulating at least one of the one or more fingers of the operator with an electrical pulse having a frequency based on the distance between the end effector and the target object
