From Star Trek a Star Warsmany films have inspired science to convert their technologies into reality. That has just happened with Avatar. The Japanese company H2L has presented A robot control system from inside a capsuleeither sitting or lying.
Capsule Interface It consists of a capsule where the user is introduced, equipped with muscle displacement sensors, a screen and speakers.
There are no cables or controls: he robot It is controlled with muscles Hand and feet, and the view. This is what H2L calls «real -time real -time synchronization.»
The robot that is controlled as in the movie Avatar
As you can see in the video below, a person is introduced inside the capsule, and places the hands and feet in a kind of holes, where the muscle sensors are.
Moving slightly piesEl Robot Your. According to the movement of the arms, lifts yours, or takes objects.
The human who controls him sees through his eyes and listens through his ears. The direction when walking or taking things, is controlled with the view.
The difference in using this interface capsule, in front of a traditional control command, is that The system transmits the force that the human applies in the muscles with arms and legs, so it is a much more intuitive and precise control method.
Applications of this type technology Avataraccording to H2L, they are varied. The most obvious is control robots in hazardous areaswhere a human cannot get into, and perform certain tasks, either manipulate objects, or explore the area.
It also has application in The care of older people. Since the old man can control the robot sitting in a chair, for cleaning, preparation of food, etc., until a caretaker, remotely, can take the robot to a person prevented to use it as support, walk, etc.
H2L is already improving it so that the robot transmits the movement or weight of the objects that takes the user himself, by haptic motors. Thus human-machine synchronization will be much more perfect.
This interface capsule will be put on sale at a price only within reach of companies, or rich people: about 200,000 euros.
That’s how it is Capsule interface, the robot that is controlled with the muscles and the sensesfrom a capsule, in the purest style Avatar. A unique experience.
