The winning team of the Kuka Innovation Award 2015 impressed with its application 'ReTeLink' (Reciprocal Teleoperation of the LBR iiwa and an Interactice Exoskeleton). Here, a data link is established between two compliant robot arms: the arm of the LBR iiwa and a newly developed upper arm exoskeleton (shoulder-elbow). In this application, the human moves the lightweight robot as if it were their own arm with the help of the sensor-guided exoskeleton, which recognizes the joint angles of the shoulder and elbow. The exoskeleton's motors reproduce the forces generated by the LBR iiwa's interaction with its environment. This should make it possible to realize telepresence and rehabilitation applications. The Italian developers ...
