IRIS
Project Description
Taiga Robotics is the developer of IRIS. IRIS is a platform that enables user control of any robot or articulate machine remotely via a Virtual Reality (VR) interface. With this technology robotic/machine operation becomes easy and intuitive, reducing training time. IRIS is a combination of proprietary software and hardware that can be attached any electrical controlled equipment, combining the brain power of a person with the mechanical power and durability of machines.
IRIS was born out of the belief that the future of robotics lies in improving human-machine interfaces and giving workers the speed, precision, and strength of machines. IRIS is an immersive human machine interface (HMI) that uses a head mounted display and a proprietary robot head to place the mind of the operator into the remote body of a machine. With a physical description of the machine it���s controlling (i.e. link lengths and joint angles), IRIS is able to reduce the control inputs to simply moving one���s hand the way they want the machine to move.
