Build a Haptic Teleoperation Robot with Dual Raspberry Pi 5 – Force Feedback Over WiFi

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

With this kit, you'll construct two identical robot arms — one that you control, and another that mirrors every motion while sending back the sensation of touch. When the remote arm grasps an object, you'll feel its texture and resistance through your fingertips, just like you're holding it yourself. It's the core technology behind modern surgical robots and remote industrial manipulation.

What You'll Build

You will assemble a fully functional teleoperation setup where a master arm controls a slave arm over a local WiFi network. The master arm's servos receive commands from the slave's force sensors (FSR 402), translating pressure into haptic resistance felt at your hand. Each arm is built on a robust robot kit with MG996R servos and a dedicated Raspberry Pi 5, and you'll mount the FSR pads on the gripper to detect gripping force. The system includes dual NVMe SSDs for fast data logging and the PCA9685 servo drivers for smooth motion.

What You'll Learn

• How to interface force-sensitive resistors (FSR) with Raspberry Pi GPIO and analog-to-digital converters for precise pressure measurement.
• Configuring and controlling MG996R servos using PCA9685 PWM drivers over I2C, achieving 12-bit resolution movement.
• Building a bidirectional WiFi communication system between two Raspberry Pi 5 boards

  Force sensors on robot arm transmit haptic feedback to operator over WiFi — teleoperation with touch sensation.
