Conduct-a-Bot is a system developed by MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) that allows you to control a robot using muscle potential signals generated in the body when moving muscles. You can control the robot completely with just hand and arm gestures.
In ConductAbot, the developed algorithm processes muscle potential signals received from sensors and detects gestures. Taking a gesture for drone operation, for example, the drone changes direction when you raise your hand, and when you raise your fist up, the drone opens, and when you clench and open your fist, the drone moves forward. Using this technology, each user can easily introduce robot gestures without the need for offline education or educational materials.
In the conduct-a-bot test using a drone, it is said that 81.6% of the gestures were correctly identified. Right now, it is said that only eight gestures have been set, such as forward and backward, move left and right, ascend and descend, change direction and stop.
According to the research team, ConductaBot can be extended to other robots and applications, thereby facilitating human-robot interaction. It is a system that can control a drone with only a simple wearable sensor and algorithm, and it is to remove the barrier that casual users feel that it is difficult to manipulate.
