[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 ...

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 wel… ...

Also, while I'm totally in favor of gesture controlled robots, the video above demonstrates that there are some serious limitations to the technology. First, the lag-time, while pretty small, isn't ...

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 ...

Robotic Aircraft Controlled by Human Hand Gestures Aircraft carrier crews already use a set of hand gestures and body positions to guide pilots around the deck.

This innovative robot has now been updated to recognize hand gestures to control the playback of music, making it even more interactive and user-friendly.

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.

Gesture-driven robots are nothing new, but this robot arm, developed at Japan's Tsukuba University, stands out with some impressive tech. The system lets humans control the arm by analyzing the ...

The obvious powers of Kinect in enabling direct body-movement control of a robot arm, without requiring expensive and complex strap-on motion-sensing equipment should be clear–it makes ...

But what if we could control robots more intuitively, using just hand gestures and brainwaves? A new system spearheaded by researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...

They then flicked their hand to either the left or right, indicating which direction the robot should move the drill – the number of flicks indicated the number of spaces over it should move.
