Powered Wearable Turns Everyday Gestures into Machine Control
Gesture-to-robot control finally goes mobile Imagine a future where your everyday movements—typing a few fingers, a punch, a wave, or a quick twist of the wrist—could steer a robot, operate a drone, or control a remote arm. A new powered wearable makes this possible by translating natural gestures into precise machine commands in real time.…
