| Santos has been asked to conduct many tasks...he
continues to learn as his experience with objects and humans increases. Some of the
missions that Santos has been given include the following: A. Given a 50 lb box located in position A, move the box to position and
orientation B. Santos is asked to execute these tasks autonomously, unaided by
humans. Unlike current state of the art, no manipulation of the joints or limbs, or
postures is needed...only when several postures need to be examined that the user feels it
necessary to manipulate Santos.
B. Joystick maneuvering and manipulation while subject to
obstacles.
C. Opening of hatches of a special vehicle where torque and
force requirements are high on the body.
D. Climbing in and out of various military platforms (ingress
and egress problems). A very novel set of solutions are proposed and executed by
Santos...let him do the work of checking for you. |
