TELESAR V - robot for telebeeting

Remember the movie "Surrogates"? In this film, the characters safely stuck at home while their robots hung around the world. The next step in the direction of this concept is the robot TELESAR V. How does it work? The operator puts on a helmet with a 3D-display and headphones, which exactly translate everything that the robot "sees" and "hears". But the main thing is that the sensor system records the direction and magnitude of the force when the robot's fingers touch various objects, as well as the surface temperature. The data is transmitted to the operator’s “gloves”, which recreate the effect of touch with an accuracy sufficient to distinguish individual “bumps” on Lego bricks by touch.



Telepresence turns into “telebeing”: with the help of a robot avatar, the operator can not only see and hear everything that happens around TELESAR V, but also feel the shape and temperature of objects touched by the robot’s fingers.

It remains only to "sheathe" the robot with a realistic body and, who knows, perhaps sooner crowds of surrogates will roam the streets.
