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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

New intelligent algorithms could help robots to quickly recognize and respond to human gestures. Researchers have created a computer program which recognizes human gestures quickly and accurately ...

But now, researchers from MIT have developed a way to control robots more intuitively, using hand gestures and brainwaves.

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.
