VR Teleoperation Operates Boxing Robot
Interesting Engineering | Nadia, a humanoid robot developed by the Institute for Human & Machine Cognition’s (IHMC), demonstrates advanced boxing skills through virtual reality (VR) teleoperation. Controlled by an engineer wearing VR headset, Nadia replicates precise human motions to throw punches and stretch. The robot’s development focuses on enhancing human-robot collaboration, with applications in hazardous tasks like firefighting and explosive ordnance disposal. Its sophisticated blend of electric and hydraulic systems, along with VR integration, showcases the potential for robots to extend human capabilities in dangerous environments.
