ATOM is a manually controlled teleoperation method with a unique SHADOW feature that mimics human actions. Unlike conventional dual-arm robots, ATOM integrates virtual reality (VR) technology and image processing to provide an immersive, precise, and versatile control experience.
With special VR eyewear, operators gain 360-degree vision through the robot’s perspective in remote areas. Hand movements are tracked, processed, and translated into real-time control of the robot’s arms. This enables dynamic telepresence, enhancing situational awareness in complex and hazardous environments.
