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 wi… ...

An advanced gesture-sensitive sensor system, and a robot–combined into one project. Check out the video to see what Willow Garage has achieved in the small period of time since Kinect hit the ...

But Willow Garage, purveyor of research humanoid robots, has created the best mashup yet: Kinect, a robot, and gesture control.

Other gesture controlled robots of note include using two Leap motion controllers to control some industrial robot arms — for robotic surgery! And of course there’s also advanced robotic arm ...

MIT is making strides in controlling robots using brainwaves and hand gestures. This could mean robots will one day need nothing more than a thought from a human operator to control them.

That dream is now a reality. With a new robot control system, a human can control a robot using nothing but brainwaves and hand gestures.

Its newest project allows you to control a robot just by watching it and correct mistakes with a simple hand gesture.

The Kinect's ability to map terrain in 3-D and to recognize and respond to human gestures could eventually be teamed up with aerial drones and rapid-response teams to launch rescue operations.

Gesture-based system are usually attached to video game consoles like the Microsoft Kinect or your computer like the Leap Motion. Google's ATAP team figured that the smaller form factor of the ...
