WIND wearable device lets you control a robot by gestures alone

We’ve been using body movements to controls those virtual characters on screen, but when it comes to robots, we still use computer peripherals. Now, to change that, with a tinge on modernity, fuRo Future Robotics Technology Center have developed the WIND (Wireless Intelligent Networked Device), which is a wearable robot controller, yes that’s right. Decked into a vest are sensors, which translate the user’s movements into commands to wirelessly control a robot. This control by WIND is allowed with use of a SiP (System in Package) chip, which is a full functionality personal computer on a single semiconductor. See the wearable device in action after the break.
