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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Senior software engineer David Alfonso of Boston-based Pison Technology doesn’t resemble the sorceror’s apprentice from the old Walt Disney cartoon “Fantasia.” But with a wave of his hand, he seemed ...

One of the neat things about the setup was that unlike other systems that allow people to control robots with their brain, this one didn't require them to consciously "think" in a specific way.

Everybot is the first in the industry to commercialize an artificial intelligence (AI) serving robot. Everybot announced on the 13th that it has filed two patents related to gesture recognition ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Getting robots to do things isn't easy: usually scientists have to either explicitly program them or get them to understand how humans communicate via language. But what if we could ...
