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 with ...

Wearable technology uses everyday gestures to reliably control robotic devices even under excessive motion noise, such as when the user is running, riding in a vehicle or in environments with ...

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. This area ...
