Sometimes robots replace human workers, but other times they augment those workers, instead. At Amazon’s re:MARS 2019 conference, a quartet of companies showed off a set of telerobotic arms and hands that let a human operator “feel” what the robot hands were touching. The idea is that the robotic limbs and digits become essentially an avatar for the human operator, who may be standing right there (as was the case with the show floor demo), or may be operating remotely thousands of miles away.

This demo comprises technology from SynTouch, Shadow Robot Company, and HaptX. Full article: https://venturebeat.com/2019/06/12/telerobotic-hands-and-fingers-become-your-avatar-at-amazon-remars/
