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 ...

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 ...

In factories, many simple, repetitive tasks have already been taken over by machines. But as we bring industrial robots into unpredictable, interactive environments, we’re going to need better ways to ...

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 ...
