Aircraft carrier crews already use a set of hand gestures and body positions to guide pilots around the deck. But with an increase in unmanned planes, what if the crew could use those same gestures to ...

[Ray Kampmeier] just finished writing some code to allow him to control his robotic arm using force-sensitive hand gestures! He calls it the Robo Marionette. He’s using a MeArm 4 DOF robotic arm, a ...

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 ...

It’s not just a remote-control toy. Engineers develop incredible AI-powered robot that could save lives in disaster zones: ...

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 ...

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 ...

2010 may go down in history as the year of gesture recognition. We've seen it in TVs, we have it in our video games (thanks, Kinect!), and now we have it in our robots. The Biological Cybernetics Lab ...

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 ...

Microsoft’s Kinect is being hacked left, right and center, with all sorts of exciting uses in its future. But Willow Garage, purveyor of research humanoid robots, has created the best mashup yet: ...

Inspired by the control system for the AMP suits in the movie Avatar, [Feelpavan] built this gesture controlled robotic hand. So far there is functionality for the wrists to rotate and bend, as well ...

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 ...
