AgiLimb: Embodied Agile Robotic Arm by Integrating Digital Reflex and Seamless Action Takeover

Performing sports skills with a human-operated robot is a challenging task.The key to human-robot-human (HRH) interaction is to combine the physical capabilities of a robot with the flexibility of a human.We developed the AgiLimb system to enable operators to transcend their own perceptual and physical abilities in a robotic experience while maintaining a sense of agency.The system introduced fast vision-based digital reflex to overcome the delay in human higher-order visual feedback.In addition, the system incorporates action takeover mechanism to improve the accuracy of the motion.The basis for agile motion is a quasi-direct-drive robot manipulator designed specifically for this application.In the demonstration, visitors will experience operating the AgiLimb system that moves and reacts like their own body.
