dc.description.abstract	With the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, many health workers in hospitals, nursing homes and quarantine facilities were put at increased health risk in their workplace. One effective solution to reduce this risk is to use Telerobotics which enables health workers to carry out their tasks remotely. Such a system must be able to perform a wide range of tasks in an unpredictable environment. This research paper will focus on the pick and place of small objects, which is one of the most common tasks in health care settings. This research designs a prototype telerobotic system using an innovative and new control method to remotely pick and place small objects and will perform the following test: An operator will use a virtual reality headset to remotely control a robot arm located more than 44 kilometres away from the operator and pick several common everyday objects and place them into a container. By developing this proof of concept prototype, this research will help to accelerate the adoption of telerobotic technologies in health care and other industries.

Abstract:

With the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic, many health workers in hospitals, nursing homes and quarantine facilities were put at increased health risk in their workplace. One effective solution to reduce this risk is to use Telerobotics which enables health workers to carry out their tasks remotely. Such a system must be able to perform a wide range of tasks in an unpredictable environment. This research paper will focus on the pick and place of small objects, which is one of the most common tasks in health care settings. This research designs a prototype telerobotic system using an innovative and new control method to remotely pick and place small objects and will perform the following test: An operator will use a virtual reality headset to remotely control a robot arm located more than 44 kilometres away from the operator and pick several common everyday objects and place them into a container. By developing this proof of concept prototype, this research will help to accelerate the adoption of telerobotic technologies in health care and other industries.
