OpenArm KER – Motorless Teleoperation Leader for OpenArm 2.0

Description

OpenArm KER (Kinematic Equivalent Replica) is a passive, shoulder-mounted leader system for intuitive teleoperation of OpenArm 2.0. Designed to capture an operator’s movements rather than generate robotic force, its motorless construction supports extended robotics research and motion-data collection sessions.

Key features

• Motorless leader design: Passive joints avoid actuator-induced resistance during operation.
• Shoulder-mounted form factor: Wearable construction supports natural operator movement.
• Kinematically matched to OpenArm 2.0: Matching joint structure and link lengths scaled to 70% support 1:1 motion mapping without retargeting.
• High-resolution motion sensing: 16 magnetic encoder units based on Infineon TLE5012B sensors provide 15-bit absolute angle output.
• Bearing-equipped joints: Designed to reduce operator load during teleoperation.

Applications

Robotic teleoperation, manipulation research, demonstration capture and training-data collection with OpenArm 2.0.

System scope

OpenArm KER is a passive operator-input system, not a powered robot arm. Powered OpenArm 2.0 follower arms are separate equipment. Final package contents, compatibility requirements and delivery lead time should be confirmed before ordering.
