The DLR Bimanual Haptic Device

The DLR Bimanual Haptic Device
HUG is a haptic user interface for teleoperating advanced robotic systems as the humanoid robot Justin or the assistive robotic system EDAN. With its lightweight robot arms, HUG can measure human movements and simultaneously display forces from the distant environment. In addition to such teleoperation applications, HUG serves as a research platform for virtual assembly simulations, rehabilitation, and training.
 
HUG is a haptic input station for the telemanipulated control of complex robotic systems, such as the humanoid robot Justin or the robotic assistance system EDAN. Thanks to its lightweight robot arms, HUG can measure the movements of humans and simultaneously display forces from the remote environment. In addition to haptic telerobotic applications, the system also serves as a research platform for virtual assembly simulations, rehabilitation and training.
