This video shows MIT’s robot OPTIMUS working under remote human control using a shared autonomy approach. Our system uses Director and Drake (drake.mit.edu) for visualization and motion planning.
Optimus is a next generation bomb disposal robot, a 16-DOF dual-arm highly dexterous mobile manipulator that integrates a Highly Dexterous Manipulation System (HDMS) by RE2, a Husky UGV by Clearpath, 3-finger grippers by Robotiq and a Multisense SL by Carnegie Robotics. Optimus can be remotely controlled by a human operator to execute complex manipulation tasks and is being used in our supervised teleautonomy project at the Interactive Robotics Group at CSAIL - MIT.
