Remote control has been around for some time, but it is making a re-surge in the form of remotely controlled robots. With faster connections worldwide, controlling systems from large distances is becoming possible. This enables telerobotic systems to be used in surgical applications, search and rescue, and much more. An important part of this technology is telemanipulation. Telemanipulation is the ability to carry out operations in a remote place with the use of a robotic system. This technology is expanding every day with new discoveries, faster remote connections, and better hardware. Spreading awareness and knowledge about it will spark new innovations.
To help spread awareness about telemanipulation this thesis will look at creating an educational DIY lab setup kit to educate its users about kinesthetics telemanipulation. The kit will be divided into two parts, the software and the hardware. The software will be made by Famke van den Boom, and I will focus on the hardware. In this presentation I will present the design choices and obstacles encountered whilst designing and building the kit.
