The Master-Slave Manipulator is a system wherein the slave device accepts commands from the master device and follows its every movement. The operator executes the task to the master and whatever the master does, the slave should replicate every movement. The slave device is usually isomorphic to the master. But this is only the half of the study the group made. The group conducted the first step study to address the lack or inefficiency by master-slave manipulators or robots to give simulated force feedback to the operator. Force feedback will give the operator the real feel of what the slave manipulator is holding or doing.
