Description
Summary:Telerobotics, or the remote control of robots has been around for some time. Most cases use a master device that remotely controls a slave tele-manipulator. Research in the remote control of robots with active feedback, that is, telemanipulation with simultaneous feedback of two or more variables from the slave to the master is ongoing. This thesis considers the feedback of two variables, position and torque, of the slave motor to the remote master in a model that includes a human operator that interfaces with the force-feedback joystick of the master motor of the master-slave combination.
