IRIS

Taiga Robotics is the developer of IRIS. IRIS is a platform that enables user control of any robot or articulate machine remotely via a Virtual Reality (VR) interface. With this technology robotic/machine operation becomes easy and intuitive, reducing training time. IRIS is a combination of proprietary software and hardware that can be attached any electrical controlled equipment, combining the brain power of a person with the mechanical power and durability of machines.

IRIS was born out of the belief that the future of robotics lies in improving human-machine interfaces and giving workers the speed, precision, and strength of machines. IRIS is an immersive human machine interface (HMI) that uses a head mounted display and a proprietary robot head to place the mind of the operator into the remote body of a machine. With a physical description of the machine it’s controlling (i.e. link lengths and joint angles), IRIS is able to reduce the control inputs to simply moving one’s hand the way they want the machine to move.
