How does robot training with Xsens Motion Capture work?
A human operator wearing an Xsens suit controls the robot's movements in real time, capturing precise motion data
The robot collects sensor data during teleoperation to enhance its understanding of movement and environment
Combined motion and sensor data are used for AI/ML deep learning, refining the robot's movement patterns
The robot autonomously performs learned movements in various conditions using AI-driven insights
