We present a proprioceptive teleoperation system that uses a reflexive grasping algorithm to enhance the speed and robustness of pick-and-place tasks. The system consists of two manipulators that use quasi-direct-drive actuation to provide highly transparent force feedback. The end-effector has bimodal force sensors that measure 3-axis force information and 2-dimensional contact location. This inf...
