…Class is a teleoperated, dual-armed manipulation system with six-function dexterity per arm and performs in depths of up to 1 km (3,280 ft.). It is electronically driven, which eliminates the added weight, size, and expense of hydraulic power unit systems, said Sarcos. As a result, maintenance costs and the risk of system downtime are reduced, the company claimed. The Guardian…

…are generally good at whole-body manipulation, but robots struggle with such tasks. To the robot, each spot where the box could touch any point on the carrier’s fingers, arms, and torso represents a contact event that it must reason about. With billions of potential contact events, planning for this task quickly becomes intractable. MIT researchers said they have found a…
