Haptic Device 2.0: Robot Assembly of an IKEA Chair

Assembling a chair with a robot is more complex than it may look. It requires the robot putting each part in the right position and applying the right amount of force to tighten the pieces. With Haptic Device 2.0, a robot can be teleoperated to put a chair together with human-like movement.

The above video show it in action. You can also use this same approach to play ping pong and a whole lot more.
