Development  of Simultaneously Controllable, Dual Manipulation Arms Incorporating Haptic  Feedback and Virtual Reality Systems — Recent  advancements in actuators, sensor technology, and virtual reality ( VR ) systems  are allowing researchers to make significant strides to improve the dexterity  and speed of robotic manipulators. Despite this, substantial opportunity  remains to improve control interfaces and manipulators that are slow,  unintuitive, and significantly less dextrous than the human body. Averro Robotics and Technology will develop an  intuitive, easy-to-wear control interface for manipulating dual robotic arms.  The control interface will provide haptic feedback to the operator and allow  for the robot's "vision" to be experienced using VR , providing an  unparalleled sense of immersion and depth perception for the operator. This  technology will significantly improve operator safety in several environments  including space exploration, spacecraft repair, explosive ordinance disposal,  military operations, offshore and underwater environments, confined spaces, and  other hazardous locations.
