Abstract
A robotic assembly control system is disclosed. The robotic assembly control system includes an exoskeleton apparatus adapted to be worn by a user, at least one robotic assembly, the at least one robotic assembly controlled by the user by way of the exoskeleton, and at least one mobile platform, the at least one mobile platform controlled by the user and wherein the at least one robotic assembly is attached to the at least one mobile platform.
Claims12
A robotic assembly control system comprising:
- an exoskeleton apparatus adapted to be worn by a user comprising:
- a hand portion comprising:
- a thumb force sensor;
- an index finger sensor;
- and
- a middle finger sensor;
- and
- at least one tactor motor;
- at least one robotic assembly, separate from the exoskeleton, the at least one robotic assembly controlled by the user by way of the exoskeleton, the robotic assembly comprising:
- a hand assembly comprising:
- a thumb structure;
- an index finger structure;
- and
- a middle finger structure;
- and
- a shoulder joint;
- at least one mobile platform comprising at least one wheel, the at least one mobile platform controlled by the user and separate from the exoskeleton and wherein the at least one robotic assembly is attached to the at least one mobile platform,
- wherein the at least one tactor motor provides feedback related to torque of the shoulder joint on the at least one robotic assembly.
