Centauro
The CENTAURO project is developing a human-robot symbiotic system for disaster relief. A human operator, using a full-body telepresence suit with haptic feedback, will remotely control a Centaur-like robot. This robot features a four-legged base and an anthropomorphic upper body, designed for robust locomotion and dexterous manipulation in hazardous, debris-filled environments. It can navigate through buildings and stairs, using unmodified human tools for complex bimanual tasks. The system aims to enhance situational awareness through rich sensors and augmented reality, while incorporating autonomous skills for routine tasks to manage communication limitations and reduce operator workload. The project will undergo a series of progressively complex tests to benchmark its capabilities.
