In this study, we developed a tele-operated manipulator hand system with bilateral control consisting of a master unit and a slave unit for operation in dangerous or unreachable environments. The master unit is composed of a data glove with position tracker and an exoskeleton glove. The slave unit is composed of a hydraulic multi-link manipulator and a hydraulic four-finger hand. It can be mounted to a vehicle as needed for mobile deployments. In order to solve the system nonlinearities to improve the trajectory performance of the manipulator end-effector a neuro-fuzzy control strategy is proposed in position control loop. The experiment results demonstrate successful tracking and grasping with the proposed control scheme.
