Research summary
|
|
In order to assist life-sized humanoid robots operating autonomously
in the real world, we have developed gloves that can act as a wearable
interface. It uses the relative distance of the operator's hands and
feet from his waist and the bend of his fingers to influence the
humanoid's actions. In this way, the human can sometimes take place of
the robot's control system for performing tasks.
The wearer can also change the control system by sound, which is
picked up by auditory sensors in the gloves.
