- AgiLimb: Embodied Agile Robotic Arm by Integrating Digital Reflex and Seamless Action Takeover

Description:
Performing sports skills with a human-operated robot is a challenging task. The key to human-robot-human (HRH) interaction is to combine the physical capabilities of a robot with the flexibility of a human. We developed the AgiLimb system to enable operators to transcend their own perceptual and physical abilities in a robotic experience while maintaining a sense of agency. The system introduced fast vision-based digital reflex to overcome the delay in human higher-order visual feedback. In addition, the system incorporates action takeover mechanism to improve the accuracy of the motion. The basis for agile motion is a quasi-direct-drive robot manipulator designed specifically for this application. In the demonstration, visitors will experience operating the AgiLimb system that moves and reacts like their own body.
