Walky lets you control a robot with finger gestures on iPod
Posted By: Bharat BhushanSharma | Nov 13 2009
Bid adieu to all those fanciest of consoles, keyboards and remote controls you’ve been using to control robots around the house or elsewhere. The new way to control a robot is here, and it is result of a tweak to the iPod/iPhone interface. Here, using an iPod and mere finger gestures over its UI a bipedal humanoid robot can be controlled. Mere finger movement can guide the bot to walk, jump, turn either side and even to kick a football. The Walky as the opertating method is called has been demonstrated on a robot, and you can see that in the video below.
