A soft armband that lets you steer a robot while you sprint on a treadmill or bob on rough seas sounds like science fiction. Engineers at the University of California San Diego have now built ...

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 ...

A soft patch on the arm could soon let you steer robots with simple hand movements, even while your whole body is in motion. That is the promise of a new wearable system from engineers at the ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling individuals with paralysis to control robotic devices through thought ...

A robotic arm capable of mimicking hand gestures through data analysis of the mechanical activity of the muscles, using wearable piezoelectric sensors was developed. Piezoelectric discs were placed in ...

A new robot control system created at MIT CSAIL lets you pilot a drone just by moving your arms. The system, called Conduct-A-Bot, measures arm movements through wearable motion sensors, and records ...
