A soft armband that lets you steer a robot while you sprint on a treadmill or bob on rough seas sounds like science fiction.

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 ...

UCSD engineers created a soft, AI-powered wearable that filters motion noise and interprets gestures in real time.

Developed at the University of California San Diego, the system pairs soft, stretchable sensors with a deep-learning engine ...

A new wearable system uses stretchable electronics and artificial intelligence to interpret human gestures with high accuracy even in chaotic, high-motion environments.

This gesture control robot project demonstrates the capability to control the robot without the need of push buttons or physical switches. With a 3-axis accelerometer device, commands to the output ...

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a next-generation wearable system that enables people to ...

[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, a ...

Gesture control was a big theme at CES 2016, with a new crop of toys and gadgets that users control with a few waves of the hand. But most of those CES devices, like most of the gesture-control gizmos ...

Senior software engineer David Alfonso of Boston-based Pison Technology doesn’t resemble the sorceror’s apprentice from the old Walt Disney cartoon “Fantasia.” But with a wave of his hand, he seemed ...
