Robot Lab Live Highlights - Remote Control Burger Crafting Using Two Robot Dogs

Remotely controlling a robotic system from a distance, whether it be in a different room or country, has always been a difficult task.

In this demonstration, the team from Real Robotics Lab will show how a motion capture suit - such as the ones used in animation film-making - can be used to control two robot dogs to perform the fairly dexterous task of cooking and assembling a burger.

The two robots both carry a robotic arm, and all will be controlled simultaneously from a single pilot to cook fresh ingredients into a fully edible burger, all without having to step into the kitchen.

Robot Lab Live is a virtual robotics showcase, hosted by the UK-RAS Network, and featuring 12 of the UK’s top robotics labs.
