Software for DIY at home lab for telemanipulation control

Robots are becoming increasingly present in today's society. From automatic vacuum cleaners to robotic surgery, robots are everywhere. One particular kind of robot is the robotic avatar. Robot avatars are robots that users can control from a distance. As a result, the user can be at places that would normally not be possible. One technology used in robotic avatars is referred to as telemanipulation.

Telemanipulation is the capability of a human being to carry out operations in a remote environment by means of a proper robotic system. Avatars.report is an online teaching platform with the goal of learning people more about telemanipulation. In order to do so, the platform offers pen casts, assignments and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) kits. The goal of this graduation project is to develop software for one of these DIY kits focussing on kinesthetic telemanipulation.
