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.
