Video: Space Factory 4.0 Telerobotic Assembly of Cubesats using Virtual Fixtures
Haptic force feedback enables the operator of a telerobotic system to control the forces that are applied at the remote site and thus even dexterous tasks with fragile parts can be accomplished. This video shows how so-called "virtual fixtures" produce guiding forces to help accomplish teleoperated tasks more quickly and precisely.
