Telerobots
for Remote Physical Presence:
Sarcos'
telerobotic manipulators permit a human operator to achieve dexterous manipulation
in remote or hazardous environments. These systems are based on proprietary
actuation, sensor, and control technologies developed by Sarcos and the
Center for Engineering Design at the University of Utah.
Telerobotic
systems are used primarily in conditions such as acquiring and disabling
explosives, maintaining nuclear plants, maintaining high-voltage electrical
transmission lines, processing biohazardous materials, and cleaning hazardous
waste sites. Sarcos telerobotic systems have been sold in the United States,
Japan, and Canada.
Sarcos' telerobotic product line includes three systems:
- The Dextrous
Arm with Morph Hand and Master
- The GRLA,
large arm with split finger hand, and Master
- The Utah/MIT
Dextrous Hand and Master
UTAH
/ MIT DEXTROUS HAND
The Utah/MIT
Dextrous hand (UMDH) is the most advanced robotic hand developed to date.
The hand was designed and manufactured through a collaboration between Sarcos
Incorporated and the Center for Engineering Design at the University of
Utah, also the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. UMDH systems are
being used by 10 leading R&D institutions to develop computer based control
systems for dexterous manipulation.
SARCOS DEXTROUS ARM
The Sarcos Dextrous Arm (SDA) includes a
human-sized slave that is commanded by a master system. The system is fast,
strong, and the most capable dextrous manipulator in the world. The SDA
can be used in a variety of applications including production assembly,
undersea manipulation, research, and handling of hazardous materials.
