Pakistani students developed advanced telerobotics system

ISLAMABAD – A group of students from the University of Engineering andTechnology (UET), Lahore have developed an advanced telerobotics systemthat could increase the use of robotics in local industries.

The system developed as part of the Final Year Project uses roboticmanipulators for path planning and reconfiguring the path of robots in caseof assembly changes.

Robots make repetitive tasks much easier but if the system requires anychanges, modifying the patterns is a hard job and requires specialistservices.

The system developed by these students comprises of a robotic manipulator,a virtual reality headset, a machine vision system and a processing unit.

The team comprises of Armughan Sarwar, Abdullah Humayun, and MuhammadWaseem.

The system makes use of Virtual Reality techniques for the training ofrobotic manipulators, which is otherwise a hectic and long process.
