Now, Robot that track your eyes to create art
Developed by Aldo Faisal of
Imperial College London and his team the robotic arm can be controlled with a
person's eyes.
An off-the-shelf eye-tracker
follows a person's gaze, sending instructions to the industrial robot arm
depending on how and where the person looks.
The commands are able to
move the arm instantly using, for example, fixed gazes and sequences of
prolonged blinks.
A person can get the robot
arm to paint a horizontal line by staring at a start point and then an end
point, 'New Scientist' reported.
Faisal plans to swap the
current brush grip with a robotic hand to allow it to manipulate objects,
allowing the system to be adapted for paralysed people or amputees.
Gaze commands could also be
sent over the internet to control the arm remotely, allowing immobile patients
to perform tasks from their beds.
Operators might use the
system to control machinery at dangerous sites without being there – for
example, to clean up chemical spills.
