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… ...

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 ...

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

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

That’s why engineer and designer Madeline Gannon developed Quipt, a gesture-based control software that helps industrial robots interact more fluidly with their human handlers.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Aaron Grant, co-founder of Thalmic Labs, shares his vision for the future of gesture control in computing and talks up the prototype MYO armband.
