A robotic manipulator includes one or multiple end effectors that can engage with an object, and one or multiple cameras that simultaneously observe each end effector, and the surrounding environment. For example, an end effector can include a contact surface including tactile markers which can deform when the end effector contacts the object.

Robotic manipulator with visual guidance and tactile sensing

A robotic manipulator is described. The robotic manipulator includes a rigid or semi-rigid end effector that engages with objects and a sensor that detects data associated with the object. For example, the sensor can include an optical sensor or a vision-based tactile sensor that detects data associated with the object.

A supernumerary robotic limb (SRL) system can include a plurality of rigid links, a joint that connects one rigid link to another rigid link in the plurality of rigid arms, and two variable stiffness actuators (VSAs) configured to drive the plurality of rigid links in order to complete at least one task. The VSAs can exhibit infinite rotation and infinite stiffness. The VSAs can include an output link. Additionally, the VSAs can include a set of elastic elements mounted on the output link. The VSAs can include an input link configured to provide kinetic energy for the output link. The VSAs can include a dynamic chassis configured to connect with the input link. Additionally, the VSAs can include a stiffness adjustor included in the dynamic chassis and configured to adjust an elastic transmission between at least one elastic element of the set of elastic elements and the output link.
