Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper reports the authors' initial results on developing a real-time teleoperation system for an Universal Robots robotic arm through human motion capture with a visualization utility built on the Blender Game Engine open-source platform. A linear explicit model predictive robot controller (EMPC) is implemented for online generation of optimal robot trajectories matching operator's wrist position and orientation, whilst adhering to the robot's constraints. The EMPC proved to be superior to open-loop and naive PID controllers in terms of accuracy and safety.
