Group 7: Dexterous Robotics for Industrial Solutions

This project is sponsored by:

Our project aims to demonstrate the viability of integrating a 5-finger robotic end-effector on assembly lines, working harmoniously alongside human operators. While Eaton employs a variety of robotic arms in their current assembly operations, these do not include 5-finger end-effectors collaborating directly with humans. This robotic solution is intended not only to match the efficiency of human labor but also execute these tasks quicker, safer, and for extended durations.

Project Details

Problem Statement

We combined three distinct systems (UR10e Robotic Arm, Artus Lite Robotic Hand, & HaptX Gloves) together to create a proof of concept teleoperational robotic arm with 5-finger end-effector.
