Having a personal robotic assistant to help you out in your daily life is a dream based in science fiction, but we're getting closer to that inevitable future every day. And while the lovable Qbo ...

Robotic technology has a staggering range of applications, but getting it to perform adequately can be a challenge, requiring specific programming based around the way humans communicate with language ...

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 ...

If you've ever wanted to craft a robot that you can control with your hands, you now have a chance of making it a reality: Ziro has started a crowdfunding campaign for its gesture-controlled robot kit ...

A new gesture controlled robotic arm has been created using a little Arduino hardware together with a Microsoft Kinect sensor the skills of a team of makers. Details and instructions on how the Kinect ...

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 ...

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 ...

What do orchestra conductors, wizards, and Leap controller users have in common? They all control things by just waving their hands. [Saddam] must have wanted the same effect, so he created a robot ...

System enables people to correct robot mistakes on multi-choice problems. Getting robots to do things isn't easy: usually scientists have to either explicitly program them or get them to understand ...

Using the 3D Gesture Tracking Shield for Raspberry Pi MGC3130 the Hackster.io Seeed channel has created a Raspberry Pi controlled robotic arm. The tutorial has been classed as a beginner project and ...
