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.

However, for [Narongporn Laosrisin’s] homebrew build, they decided to go with gesture control instead. The MeArm robotic arm is built using laser cut acrylic parts, and can be had in a kit if so ...

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

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 ...

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.

What if you could watch a robot work and, with a simple hand movement, stop it before it made a mistake? That’s the promise of new research from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial ...
