This gesture control robot project demonstrates the capability to control the robot without the need of push buttons or physical switches. With a 3-axis accelerometer device, commands to the output ...

Human–robot interaction (HRI) and gesture-based control systems represent a rapidly evolving research field that seeks to bridge the gap between human intuition and robotic precision. This area ...

Traditionally, robot arms have been controlled either by joysticks, buttons, or very carefully programmed routines. However, for [Narongporn Laosrisin’s] homebrew build, they decided to go with ...

Tech company DTing recently unveiled its new DTing Gesture Wristband and it might be the coolest remote ever. Inspired by comic book superheroes and targeted at hobbyists, the wristband is worn on ...

Researchers are always looking for ways to make controlling robots more natural for human operators. MIT is making strides in controlling robots using brainwaves and hand gestures. This could mean ...

A team led by the University of Oxford has developed a new class of soft robots that operate without electronics, motors, or ...

In the quest to make machines walk, think, and work like us, humanoid robots have become the ultimate measure of progress in ...

Collaborative robot (cobot) company Universal Robots has expanded its UR series with the launch of the UR18, an industrial ...

Led by Dr. Lin Cao from the university’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the group has developed a new way ...

Getting robots to do things would be a whole lot easier if people could command them to perform tasks using their minds. That dream is now a reality. With a new robot control system, a human can ...

Last year, we heard about an MIT-designed system that detects when someone has observed a robot making a mistake, and that stops the robot as a result. A new addition now allows that person to let the ...
