Tehran, YJC. Iranian researchers have made a robot with high-precision movements suitable for handling objects in nuclear power plants and car manufacturing firms.
Researchers
at Khalij Fars Science Park have made a robot that imitates the movements of the
human hand and can be used for high-precision tasks.
The
project director Mohammadreza Khayyer said in interview with Mehr News Agency that
the robot was made during a visit to the Bushehr power plant.
He added
"Currently Iran is developing in nuclear energy, oil and gas refinery, and car
manufacturing sections and there is the 20-year plan, and the automatization of
systems will be one of the approaches to development and progress in these
areas.”
"Due
to the importance of robots in the development of industrial sections it was
decided to make a robot that would imitate human hand movements,” he said.
Khayyer
further mentioned that the device is controlled by a wired grove that is being
worn by the operator, commanding the artificial hand to follow the real hand
movements.
He added
that as the dataglove senses the hand movements, the machine will be able to
act out the same movements in greater dimensions.
