Exploiting Task Tolerances in Mimicry-Based Telemanipulation

We explore task tolerances, i.e., allowable position or rotation inaccuracy, as an important resource to facilitate smooth and effective telemanipulation. Task tolerances provide a robot flexibility to generate smooth and feasible motions; however, in teleoperation, this flexibility may make the user's control less direct. In this work, we implemented a telema-nipulation system that allows a robot...
