Key points from article :
Human muscle movements combined with the wearable sensor Conduct-A-Bot can pilot a robot.
Electromyography and motion sensors are attached on the biceps, triceps, and forearms.
Measures signals from moving muscles and processes them to detect gestures in real time.
Used those movements and gestures to move a drone horizontally, vertically, rotate and stop.
Responded to 82 percent of gestures and identified 94 percent of cued gestures correctly.
Plans to test on more subjects to provide more predictive assistance or increase their autonomy.
