Here is a haptic telepresence robot with a new type of hydrostatic transmission that uses a hybrid air-water configuration for bidirectional operation of every joint. Disney Research built this humanoid robot with 2 x 4DOF arms and stereo cameras to stream live video to the operator’s head-mounted display. The operator gets an immersive experience while controlling the robot, feeling interaction forces between the robot and its external environment.
