Bilateral Teleoperation: Towards Fine Manipulation with Large Time Delay

: To conduct tasks that need high dexterity by teleoperation, a unified hand/arm master-slave system was developed. To measure the dexterity of individual teleoperation systems all over the world in equal condition, we propose toy block assembling (LEGOTM ) as the benchmark test for teleoperation systems. Meanwhile, a bilateral teleoperation experiment with ETS-VII (Engineering Test Satellite No.7) was conducted on November 22, 1999. Round-trip time for communication between the NASDA ground station and ETS-VII was approximately six seconds. These two results are the first step to improve the dexterity of teleoperation systems and to investigate the relationship between time delay and dexterity.
