Overview

The ARCHR controller maintained accurate control of Baxters end effector within a sphere of 4cm. It was purchased by George Mason University in Spring 2014 and a major robot in the ARCHR project. Our project utilizes ROS and Baxter SDK scripts together with our stereovision system to offer an immersive controller. Its use could be extended in the future by adding realistic barrel vision, vibrational feedback, as well as implementing the Baxters features available from the sonar, IR, wrist-camera, and built-in front-facing camera. See rethink robotics webpage on Baxter and its various features here.
