Multi-Layer Teleoperation Framework for the Franka Emika Panda Using Unity, ROS, and MuJoCo Report
Preview
This project, undertaken over the past summer, developed and integrated a multi-layer teleoperation framework for the Franka Emika Panda robotic arm. By combining Unity and Meta Quest for immersive virtual reality visualisation, ROS-TCP-Connector for real-time communication, and MuJoCo for advanced physics simulation, the project established a seamless bridge between human operator inputs and robotic execution. The system enables intuitive, low-latency control and visualisation, paving the way for advanced robotics applications in complex environments.
Hi, my name is Ruby Blaney and I am a first year Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering student at the University of Leeds. My future aspiration is to push myself hard enough so that I can receive a DAAD scholarship and complete my Masters in Medical Robotics in Germany.
My project involves the Franka-Emika Panda robotic arm and I am going to be learning new coding apps to make a virtual reality controller that would control this arm remotely.
In my free time, I enjoy reading and playing video games. I also work part time as a waitress to develop my skills in customer service alongside completing my degree.
