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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are always looking for ways to make controlling robots more natural for human operators. MIT is making strides in controlling robots using brainwaves and hand gestures. This could mean ...

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 ...

Qualcomm, which purchased microcontroller board manufacturer Arduino last year, just announced a new single-board computer ...

The team demonstrated the results of their research with a short video showing a human supervising a robot drilling holes in a piece of wood. The interface works on people the robot has never ...

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 the ...

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 ...

Honor has unveiled its new Honor Robot Phone ahead of MWC 2026, introducing “embodied AI” with gesture controls and interactive movements. It features a motorised 200MP rotating camera with AI ...

Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics (BIROB) publishes original, high-quality, peer-reviewed theoretical and applied research achievements and review articles in the fields of robotics, biomimetics, ...
