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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Point, don’t click: Pison Technology’s system allows the control of robots and devices by gestures alone By Hiawatha Bray Globe Staff,Updated January 26, 2021, 3:45 p.m.

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

It actually seems like a useful gesture control interface, one that could become a useful part of a workstation setup. We’ve seen gesture controls put to other uses too, like controlling robot arms.
